The Pralines & Creamed reviews tour wrapped up earlier this month, kicking off another year of Sweet Dreams! I am so grateful to everyone who’s read and reviewed the first two books of my cozy mystery series. Check out some of the reviews below, and then head over to Women on Writing to enter the giveaway for a print copy of Pralines and Creamed.
Good luck!

A lovely young adult read. Elizabeth seems to be able to conjure up a scene in words so perfectly—from the ice cream parlour menu to the book signing atmosphere—I was salivating at the sweet dreams dessert descriptions! This story is a lovely mixture of sweet boy/girl romance, a mystery, some detective work—and a definite lesson in that things are not always as they seem. An easy reading story with enough gumption and twists to hold your attention throughout.
Elizabeth says:
I really enjoyed this mystery! It was a great read on a chilly winter day. The descriptions of the different foods had me craving an ice cream sundae, and the quick thinking and fun personality of Genevieve kept me interested throughout the entire book! It was a great sequel to the first, Murder by Milkshake, but if you didn’t read the first book you can still enjoy this one without missing any information. I really loved the way the mystery was solved, and of course Butterscotch helped save the day! If you’re looking for a feel good mystery, this is the book for you! I can’t wait to read more from Naranjo!

I was so excited to return to Pinewood with Genevieve and friends, and Naranjo didn’t disappoint. It might be getting chilly here, but this cozy mystery will have you intrigued and craving ice cream all at once. Pinewood just feels like the ideal small town, until you get a little closer and see the tension running along beneath the surface. This time it’s a mystery right out of a book (literally), but that doesn’t make it any less intriguing. I got so wrapped up in trying to solve the mystery alongside Genevieve and Brandon that I lost track of time more than once. I loved getting to know both of them a little better, and seeing them work together to try and clear Brandon’s dad’s name was heartwarming. I can’t wait to see what new mystery will pop up in Pinewood next, and I must admit I’m a little disappointed I can’t visit Pinewood or any of the shops irl! A final note – although this works fine as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading book one too, as it’s just as sweet and mysterious as this installment.
