About book Let Them Eat Stake (2012)

The first book dealt more with the vampire end of the setting, this book focuses on the witches. Otherwise it's still much of the same engaging characters, professional chef details, and urban fantasy trappings as the previous book. Still quite enjoyable, and I still have much the same issue with the relative powerlessness of the protagonist against inhuman foes (though she does, IIRC, accomplish more herself in this one than book 1.) Vampire chef, Charlotte Caine, is asked to cater THE wedding of the year between a powerful witch and a vampire after the original chef backs out. Charlotte moves into sleuth mode when the chef dies under mysterious circumstances. The tension between Charlotte and Brendan increases when she discovers that the witchy bride is his cousin. The Maddox family is known for its vampire hunting leaving Charlotte to ponder the upcoming nuptials. A theft from the bride's home throws everyone into a tizzy. The triangle between Charlotte, Brendan and Anatole is still simmering as well. Good follow up to the first book. 3 stars
