Saint Vandal’s Day
(Death by Cupcake, #7)
by D.E. Haggerty 

 

St. Valentine’s Day is THE perfect day for a wedding. Unless a vandal is trying to ruin your life that is.

Callie is finally getting her dream wedding. On St. Valentine’s Day no less. Only a vandal is determined to destroy her bakery before the wedding can occur. Anna, self-proclaimed best cupcake baker this side of the Mississippi, is not letting anything happen to the cupcake bakery. No way. Barista extraordinaire Kristie jumps at the chance to help as well. Together the three women launch a mission to find the jerk who thinks it’s okay to attack the bakery.

Will the gals of Callie’s Cakes find the vandal and save the cupcake bakery before Callie’s dream wedding is ruined?

Favorite Quotes:

 

Okay, Lucy and Ethel, break it up and tell me what in the name of coffee is going on here.

 

Anna marches to the beat of her own drummer and I’m pretty sure her drummer resembles Animal from The Muppet Show.

 

Tyler, is totally a hottie. He’s also a firefighter. Whenever he shows up at the café in his uniform, the women fan themselves and threaten to light fires so they can watch him in action… Tyler is the reason firefighter calendars were invented.

 

I’m not blackmailing you. I’m trying to positively incentivize you.

My Review:

 

My favorite cupcake brigade was under siege by an internet troll who dared to slur the pixie’s skills on Yelp… oh my. The offensive assault started online before being taken to the street with property damage to the bakery. The police were oddly no help despite connubial bliss with two of the city’s finest… No problem, these gals have an industrial-sized can opener for the can of whoop-ass the indignant little sprite was ready to unleash.

This was a delightfully fun and tasty treat before my New Year’s soul-killing diet deprivation starts in earnest to atone for all the self-indulgences of December. Who am I kidding? The size of my thighs tell a different truth and give testament that the bu-fat/buffet, all-you-can-eat banquet experience was more likely to have started when the costumes and candy started appearing well before Halloween.   The storylines were engaging, amusing, and tickled my curiosity in equal measure. I adore this crew and while I am more like Callie in every way, I am also drawn to the spunky Anna and aspire to be more like her, which gives added incentive for the dreaded diet to succeed. I’ll get right on that, maybe tomorrow…

D.E. Haggerty is actually just plain old Dena, but she thinks using initials makes her sound sophisticated and maybe even grown-up. She was born and raised in the U.S. but considers herself a Dutchie and not only because it sounds way cooler. After a stint in the U.S. Army, she escaped the US to join her husband in Holland. She fled Holland over ten years ago when she couldn’t stand the idea of being a lawyer for one single second more. Turns out Bed & Breakfast owner in Germany didn’t do it for her either. When the hubby got a job in Istanbul, she jumped ship and decided to give this whole writer thing a go. She’s now back in Holland, which she considers home. Sorry, Mom.
