Potions and Pastries by Bailey Cates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Declan and Katie are house hunting even though they have not set the date yet. A chance encounter with a fortune-teller, Orla, who used to be a client at Honeybee's, sets off a chain of events that have Katie worried. What did she mean by "sacrifice"? Before they get a chance to talk, Orla is killed in a car accident. Katie reads her own Tarot cards, but she gets the Tower, and her worries continue. Was Orla killed? Did her Irish-Traveler family and their costumes have anything to do with it? Or do they have magic more powerful than her hedgewitch/lightwitch ones?

I felt bad for Katie, who is really experiencing some chaos in her life. She loves Declan, but she also loves her home and does not want to move. If they get married, though, they really need more space. Then there's the prediction Orla made, and was she killed or was it just an accident?
