*4.5 Stars*

I really love this series. The perfect mix for anyone who loves baking and mysteries! The characters are truly great, yet not perfect. They both have their flaws and it makes them even more interesting. I'm really amazed by how they always get in trouble (and out of it!). I really liked the mystery in this one too. I really didn't really see the whole thing coming. And I liked that Laila was the host, while Lucy was the one baking this time. This is such a fun and good series. I hope there's more books coming!

This was a fantastic follow up to Badua and Dow’s first mystery. This is such a fun series that will leave you hungry! Highly recommend for all young readers who love classic-style whodunits.

I really loved The Cookie Crumbles and was so excited to see Lucy and Laila getting to continue their whodunit adventures in Their Just Desserts. This is such a fun book, and I really love how much it feels like a book for middle schoolers, from the way changes in friendship feel so BIG to the ways they’re just starting to think about what the future holds for them. I loved the new cast of characters, as well as seeing familiar faces and getting to see them all growing and changing. The whole premise of the Holly Jolly Baking Show was so over the top, especially with the reality tv elements, but I think that just added to the fun of reading the book. I really enjoyed this, and really hope we’ll have more books starring Lucy and Laila!

This was a strong sequel in this series and was a great follow-up for the Cookie crumbles. It had that mystery element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this. The characters felt like they were meant to be in this story and was glad that they had the charm that I expected from the first book. Tracy Badua and Alechia Dow wrote thisperfectly and am excited for more.
