5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful story
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019
Verified Purchase
The magic adventures of Susanna Daniels continue in book two. I really enjoyed how A.G. Mayes makes the Christmas season at Aunt Erma's pie shop in Hocus Hills come vividly to life. You get to know the morning pie crew better and learn some secrets about Aunt Erma's past. The bobsled story put a big smile on my face. Curl up on the sofa with a big cup of coffee and a blueberry pie with crumble top and enjoy this good read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Chapter in a Magical World
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2019
A Slice of Christmas Magic, the second book in The Magic Pie Shop series betrayed my assumption and expectations in multiple ways; this book turned out a bit of a surprise, but I assure you, I enjoyed this magical, quick read a lot.

I originally picked up this book without reading the previous book assuming I would manage to get through no problem, but ended up reading the previous book first and then dove into this book straight away. I must say I am glad that I did - I still think you can read this book as a standalone but a bit of knowledge in the background and the character dynamics always helps especially when the story is set in a half-normal, half-magical society.

Needless to say, there is a lot of magic going on in this book and some readers may balk at picking this up because of it, but "magic" in this book is not something you might normally conjure up by the sound of it - such as sparks and flashes, wands flying or something along those lines, it's more low-key as in "let's sprinkle this spice and see what happens" type of thing, much cozier and down-to-earth yet definitely delivers some fantastical vibes.

That said though, the main plot and the overall atmosphere running through this book did take me by surprise; I imagined this book being a lot fluffier and more romantic because of the words "Christmas," and "magic" but the plot turned out anything but. The tone of this book is a lot more intense than the previous book intertwining persistent coup attempts to take over the magical world. Aunt Erma, who has always been regarded as a "powerful one" comes under attack multiple times and had her magical spices stolen. The battle begins with one side attempting to overthrow the status quo while the other side trying to stop them.
Although the story does set in the Christmas time and throw in some festive vibe, I found the title could be a bit tangential. It's not a bad thing per se, yet some readers might be baffled if they picked up this book expecting a sweet, fantastical story set in a festive time. I did like it and enjoy the story all right, but readers might want to know what they are getting into beforehand.

Other than that, I don't have any particular gripes or niggles about this book. The setting is unique and fun, and the close-knit community feels is ever-present. The underlying bubbling tension stemming from the ongoing battles added to the intrigue while the love triangle among Susie, Josh, and Henry offers much-needed respite, serving as a perfect spice to make this little book even more delectable.

A Slice of Christmas Magic is an entertaining, strong addition to the series and I wonder if there will be another sequel coming our way. The ending was perfect, but it feels there's a lot more stories to tell in this series and of course, I am curious and willing to continue with this series :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Magic Pie Shop series, book 2
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2020
This is book 2 in the Magic Pie Shop series. It can be read as a stand alone but I think I would have enjoyed it more with a little of the book 1 background. Susie and her aunt run a pie shop in the magical town of Hocus Hills. Someone is out to steal the magic and it's up to Susie to stop the evil. The book is light hearted and an easy read. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2019
It is Christmas in Hocus Hills and the Brenda & her family were still on the run (and still after Aunt Emma's magical spices). Susie has her hands full helping out at the pie shop, juggling her boyfriend Henry and a friend from her past who has suddenly shown up and showing interest in her, and trying to catch Brenda before she destroys the town with her evil magic.
This is the second book in the Little Magic Pie Shop series. Don't worry if you haven't read the first one (although you would really enjoy it), because the author does a good job recapping everything that has happened so far. There is a great blend of magc & mystery with a bit of romance thrown in for good measure. I loved this book and I think you will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magical experience!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2019
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from NetGalley and Harper Impulse for my unbiased opinion of the book. This is the second book picks up where the other one left off. Susie who recently discovers that she, her mother, and Aunt Erma as well as most of the community in Hocus Hills are made up of witches. Susie finds herself being a major part to help stop the forces of magic revolution that is trying to take place right under her nose. I really like this book so much better than the first. The first one was trying to figure out which end was up. This book new where it was going and got there! Also, it was extremely enjoyable and funny to read. I look forward to the next installment in this magical lol series!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful journey into a magical world
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019
"A Slice of Christmas Magic" is a delightful journey into the magical world of Susie Daniels, her aunt Erma, and a magical pie shop. Who wouldn't love to live in a place where you could enjoy a delicious piece of pie which has been sprinkled with just the right kind of fairy dust to instill the confidence, love, peace, trust, or self-esteem you need for the day ahead. Susie, aunt Erma and the Morning Pie Crew provide just such a service to the people of Hocus Hills. Inevitably, whenever there is a product that is useful in promoting good, there are some who want to capture it and use it for their own less-than-good purposes. The IMPs--a group of magical people who are determined to empower magical people over non-magical folk--are out to steal aunt Erma's secrets. Susie, a newcomer to the reality of magic, has to come to the rescue.

This was my first entry into the magical pie world of A. G. Mayes. As a result, the opening chapter or two were a little slow as I had to catch up to speed with things discussed in the first book. In all, I did not find it hard to read and enjoy this book without having read the first book.

A word to those who might choose this book believing they are in for a magic filled holiday read: the Christmas theme is extremely tangential to the storyline and plays little or no part in the book. Read it for the magic pies, not the magic of Christmas. You will not be disappointed.

I am grateful to NetGalley for providing me with the chance to read this book and offer my review.
