Description
There’s only one thing standing between the city of S’kar-Vozi and the Wolf from transforming into an insatiable flesh-hungry werewolf every full moon, the Crane’s perfectly baked and exquisitely designed cakes. But her hands aren’t what they used to be; she needs an apprentice, and only the best will do. Three bakers have been selected to participate in the bake-off of their lives… literally.
The prize?
A mansion at the very top of the city.
The contestants?
A school cafeteria cook who over-seasons her over-ripe produce, but at least it looks good.
A half elf whose bakes taste far better than they appear.
A halfling with a bone to pick with meat eaters.
The stakes?
An overcooked bake could cause Hollis to lose control and eat everyone in the kitchen. A soggy bottom definitely will.

Jennie Reads –
I’m almost embarrassed to say that I have never watched that British Baking show but have seen a few others (might be slightly addicted to Worst Cooks in America – I know my kin!). However between the cover illustration and the description, I happily plunged into this humorous fantasy/fiction.
For centuries Lady Crane has baked delicacies to help the Wolf stay a man but she’s getting up there in age and knows the time has come to pass on this role to a younger generation. Enter the competition. Omad was one of my favorites as I could definitely use his particular skill in the kitchen, although I am probably more of an Opal with Carmen tendencies.
This was a page-turner that had me laughing even through a few of the more macabre parts.
