2024 Christmas Reading Challenge Book Review

#BookReview ~ The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore @melissamcternan @0neMoreChapter_ @NetGalley

My Thoughts

I found the aspect of community to be the most appealing since everyone seemed to know each other, making the town feel very friendly. Kira the protagonist was a lovely character and the story was quite interesting to me. Also, the romantic subplot of the main male character Ben was well developed and realistic. All in all, this is a charming Christmas story that left me with the warmest of fuzzies from beginning to end.

Thank you to One More Chapter and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

☃️SNOWMAN by @iam_a_em

"Call me a monster if you want," I muttered, softer, staring at her lifeless body. "But the monster is just an image I want you to see."

📣 BLURB

They say we inherit the sins of those who came before us, a curse handed down from father to son, generation after generation. But me—I carry my own sin. A deep, insatiable hunger, a craving for blood that never fades.

Until I saw her.

There was something in her eyes, a spark of warmth in all that coldness. I knew I needed her. I wanted her to come outside, to play in the snow with me, to build a snowman. And maybe… just maybe… if we could be like children again, if we could lose ourselves in the frost and cold, she could save me.

BLURB

This is when the legacy, legends and responsibilities have defined your entire life.

I was born to fulfill my family`s birthright, to become the town`s resident mortician. To take care of the spirits before the grave keeper brings them back to us. But sometimes a girl wonders, who are you outside of your life`s purpose?

And days before my full moon ceremony, I wondered and wandered into a ghost dick of my own.

My name is Harper Hayes and this is my story.

My journey.

And possibly my own episode of Dateline.

Welcome to Port Canyon

🚀 You Shouldn`t Have Answered by @iam_a_em

𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐑𝐁  

Aurelia Vale had it all: a perfect family, a perfect fiancé, a career as a piano prodigy, and a future carefully planned before her. Then, in one night, everything disappeared. A tragic accident shattered her life, leaving her as the only one who survived.
When a small ad in the back of a newspaper offers her ninety days of solitude at a cliffside gothic mansion in Mendocino, California, Aurelia takes it as a sign to disappear.
The first night is easy. By the second, she feels eyes on her. Someone is watching her, leaving letters on her doorstep and calling her in the middle of the night. Eventually, she had enough and answered only one call.
And the man who has been watching her finally appears.
“You shouldn’t have answered,” the words she will never forget.
This is a psychological thriller and dark romance set in the 90s, a tragic and emotional story filled with trauma and grief that will stay with you long after the final page.
