Red-Haired Ash Reads

Holly Winters is ready for a peaceful Christmas in her family’s cozy mountain cabin. But when danger threatens Nocturne Falls, Holly finds herself teaming up with her vampire neighbor Demetrius Voss to defeat it. Will they save the town before Christmas and will they get an unexpected gift they never saw coming?

This was a great Christmas novella set in the outskirts of Nocturne Falls. Holly and Demetrius’ relationship was enjoyable but it wasn’t the main focus of most of this book. The focus was on the danger lurking in the forest and Holly and other witches from town trying to contain it. While this is all going on, Demetrius and Holly are constantly together and realize that they like what they see and in the end, they admit it  to each other. This was basically the very beginning of their relationship and the events that pushed them together, which I didn’t mind.

Nocturne Falls continues to become a town that is accepting of everyone but also constantly in danger. I really love this town and the characters within it. I do wonder if we will see this danger appear again in future books or if it is completely contained now. Overall, this was enjoyable though and a great little Christmas story.
