TaniaRina Valdespino's Reviews > A Captured Cauldron: Rules for Compulsory Brews

“I went to a fight the other night and a [debate] broke out”
Snacks and gambling galore for the first day’s opening event - Ambrose is totally in his element at Potion Con. His debate with his nemesis is all fun & games until it’s not…

While kidnapping is a very serious crime, but the Rosemond crew still finds ways to keep up their spirits while concocting Ambrose’s escape plan.


I totally enjoyed how the author described some of the characters:
‘with all the grace of a shark with fashion sense’
‘Even his freckles looked bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.’
‘If she was planning to spark some romance today, there was going to be a bonfire by lunch.’


If I’m ever rescued from being kidnapped, I will need heaps of freshly baked ‘Earl Grey cake with fernberry jam, lavender buttercream, and candied rose atop a vanilla cinnamon glaze’, and ‘beachy dreams cupcakes’, and ‘extra-jolty espresso cookies’ to help me recover from the ordeal.
In the meantime, I making me some crispy coconut cookies right now!
