Synopsis (taken from Amazon)
What’s the worst way to spend a weekend with your quirky, magical team?
A team-building retreat, of course.
When Constantine drags the crew to Hochatown, OK, for some “bonding,” no one’s thrilled. Bob’s only focus is the bake-off, which is already shaping up to be a recipe for disaster. But when a group of thieves launches a high-stakes heist in the middle of their supposed downtime, things go south faster than you can say “sugar plums.”
Now, it’s not just about surviving each other’s company—it’s about surviving in a town where the dead have a nasty habit of showing up, and everyone has a secret. Between eccentric family reunions, a string of bodies dropping like flies, and a magical showdown that’s anything but ordinary, the team will have to navigate the chaos or risk becoming part of the mess themselves.
In this hilarious, fast-paced urban fantasy adventure, Sugar Plums and Death’s Intern proves that sometimes, the real danger comes from the family you never asked for—and the enemies you never saw coming.
Sugar Plums and Death’s Intern is book nine in The Enchanted Woods Cottagecore Series.
This book is set in the Reapers Universe. A stand-alone misadventure from the Intern Diaries. You don’t need the full files to survive this story. If you enjoy Supernatural and True Blood, the crew of Sugar Plums and Death’s Intern will keep you turning pages while wishing you were in your own cottage sipping tea.
Review
This story takes place in the Reaper’s universe, and just like the first book I read in this universe (Death’s Intern), I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The author does an excellent job balancing the pacing between major plot developments and meaningful character interactions, keeping the story engaging from beginning to end.
I love the entire concept behind this universe. The author’s idea of using the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and giving them interns is creative. It’s a premise that immediately stands out and creates plenty of opportunities for both humour and adventure.
The diverse cast of characters gives the book a lot to play with, each bringing their own unique skills and personalities to the story, from fighting abilities to baking talents. The friendships feel authentic, and the dialogue flows naturally as the characters joke around, tease one another, and share more serious moments when it counts.
My favourite character again is the old talking cat. As an animal lover, I couldn’t help but adore him. His personality perfectly captures that bossy, opinionated cat energy while still showing how much he cares about his family.
If you enjoy a fun, fast-paced story with memorable characters and a unique universe, this is the book for you.
