Bake Off (Bake Believe Series Book 2) by Cori Cooper – Review by Savanah Schwarz

Bake Off is the second book in the Bake Believe Trilogy. We met Cat in the first book when her life became this ever-twisting and winding road of baking, young love, and self-exploration. But now as her family’s secret is discovered and Cat realizes she can not only bake sweet delicious goodies but that she can bake in powerful emotions, stronger than any she’s ever known before. So she and her family travel to Arizona to visit the Bakery that started it all. There she falls into a Bakery showdown between her family members. She learns along the way what it means to harness the power in her emotion through baking and mystical family history. There is history, drama, and baking secrets to keep you reading. Just like the first book in this series, I was enamored. This cleverly written story brings you into the day and life of an average girl with a special gift. As I was reading I fell in love with Cat and her family and was totally immersed in the family drama, teen angst, and magical fun that comes from Bake-off. This is definitely a great sequel to the first and I can’t wait to read the next one. I also happened to try a recipe or two while reading it. Totally recommend.
