The joy of the holidays
My Gifts at Christmas A time of new beginnings This author continues to amaze me with her ability to bring fresh new situations to her storybook world. I love this little glimpse into the back story of Beth and how she and her father became part of the vampire ruling house. The characters are exactly the way I expected them to be and with each new person introduced to the story it was like greeting an old friend. The reality of Beth’s lack of luck took on an entire new meaning when the author made me wince with each new injury she incurred. This book was everything and more that I had hoped for, and I can’t wait to see where she takes her series next. 5 stars Tis the Season Creating new traditions This was such an awesome little, short story. I know that in the past I would have loved to treat The Elf on the Shelf to the same method of removal as Felix uses. Like all of the books in this series, this one made a smile cross my face and laughter burst from my lips. I hope the author continues to share these shorts with us, they really help to round out the Bewitched and Bewildered daily life experiences. 5 stars
