Rating: 3 stars

Criminally Cocoa is a novella in the Amish Candy shop mystery series that is best read between books 3 and four.  Bailey is in New York filming a candy making show, and Charlotte Weaver an Amish girl who is not only Bailey's grandma's cousin but she works in the candy shop is along for the trip.  This little cozy is told from Charlotte's point of view making it different from previous books in the series. But with this one you get to see a bit of what Charlotte's like as well as bits and pieces of her backstory and her doubts about decisions she has to make soon.
This even by cozy standards is a quick read. At only 13 chapters and 86 pages I finished this book in two hours. It is a fast read and even though it’s not the best mystery of the series it’s still pretty good. It's a great book for cozy fans who want an even lighter read than they normally read.

I do recommend that you read this series in order especially if you don't want to be spoiled for anything in previous books. If you’re a cozy fan I recommend this series and if you've read Amanda's other series, I highly recommend this one.
