Book: The Witch, the Baker, and the Curse Maker by Colleen Delaney

Rating: 5/5
The Witch, the Baker, and the Curse Maker is the fifth and final instalment in the Witches of Star Island series and what a satisfying conclusion! The overarching storyline from the previous four books starts right away, with the Stochs still plotting to eradicate the Bays.
However, this is also Lavendar's story and one I've been looking forward to. As her sisters couple up with their soulmates she is the only one left on her own, but of course she knows who her soulmate is. She met him in college but they have been estranged ever since. But when her soulmate, Gavin, finally gets a clue to her whereabouts after a decade of searching for her, he arrives on Star Island and is immediately thrown into the thick of it.
When Lavendar and Gavin take their second trip into their past lives, we discover the source of the curse that has plagued the Bay women and it was shocking . Armed with this information they take on the Stoch's as everything comes to a head. There was a perfect balance between Lavendar and Gavin's rekindled romance, and the larger story.
Overall this is a lovely, cosy, mysterious, witchy series with past lives, strong sisterhood and all the magic and peril you can imagine and The Witch, the Baker, and the Curse Maker concludes the series nicely with a bonus epilogue of their future.
