Publisher's summary

It's Christmas, and I, ex-witch Stevie Cartwright, declare this my favorite time of year. I love the decorations! The food! The Hallmark Channel holiday specials! This year promises to be better than ever because for the first time in a very long time, I'm going to have more than just Cheez Whiz, Triscuits, and the wish to be surrounded by family and friends. My carefully planned holiday bonanza includes all the usual suspects: my bat familiar, Belfry; my dog, Whiskey; my ever-present ghostly spy friends, dashing Brit Winterbottom and stalwart Russian Arkady; and my parents. However, nothing comes easy for this amateur sleuth, not even a neighborhood decorating contest. You know, the one I've been painstakingly prepping for for months? Something goes horribly awry with my Christmas display (think bikini-clad carolers, pink flamingos, and real, live turkeys) to start. But the worst? The dead body of the famous Chef Pascal Le June in my nativity scene! It becomes clear someone's trying to ruin my Christmas, and that someone must pay. But when Belfry goes missing and the danger takes on a paranormal edge, I find I have more to lose than ever before.

Love the series

As always love the series. Waiting for Wynn to show. Dakota does a great job with this and the other series.

love it

love this series it's a major favorite can't get enough Stevie and Winterbottom. I laughed I cried it's just fabulous

great story

Wonderful story. Love the addition of the Russian spy. the narrator does a great job with all of the voices.

Half a story

I liked the story but it was way too expensive for what I got. it was just a little short Christmas Story and it shouldn't have cost $19.

Entertaining

Enjoyed the twists and turns. Hope to keep following these characters in future episodes and adventures!

Christmas with a twist

This book has your emotions on a roller coaster! As Stevie goes on another sleuthing adventure, her sidekick Belfry is no where to be found. With the two ghostly spies at  her side she goes to solve the murder mystery of the famous pastry chef. I do have to say I laughed out loud at the opening scene of what was supposed to be the entry to the Christmas decorating contest. I absolutely love this series and the book.

 

Hollie does an amazing job at her narration. There are many reoccurring characters that are constant in all of the books and the voices do not change. Her narration and Dakota’s detail have you feeling as if you are right there in Eb falls watching the scenes unfold as a spectator.  Hollie’s accents are on point with Dakota’s humor. I would recommend to any one looking for a snarky paranormal mystery!

Awesome storyline, I loved this series

I love listening to this series! Great characters and a great story, but still hoping our witch gets her full powers back.

Love this Series

This is a great addition to this series just wish it were longer. Can't wait for the next book!

Fun and heartfelt

Love the heartfelt growth of these delightful characters. Good paced books plenty of laughs as always for this author.

Such a kick...

Dakota Cassidy has a great sense of humor and brings it out in all her stories. Hollie Jackson brings all the characters to life with her ability to feel the characters. If you're into paranormal fun you won't want to miss this one.
