*Amazon Blurb*

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.

 

*My Review* 

I wanted something short to listed to just before Christmas (yes another reminder of how far behind I am with reviews) and this one was just that length. Although I didn't think the book was "amazing" or anything like that, I did think it was cute and enjoyed listening to it. I'll admit there were a lot of characters and I was not able to keep them straight which did cause a bit of confusion here and there, but for the most part it was ok and just what I was looking for to pass the time while doing all those crazy chores just before the holiday.
