Christmas Parole, Squirrel Roomy, Bear Romance

I have never done a series with different authors, but I was lured in by the idea of Witches, Christmas, and Cozy. This is also my first book by Bella Falls. From a quick review of the summaries of the books in the series it looks like the various authors will write about the same character in each of their volumes, meaning Bella will always write about Aurora Hart, Danielle Garrett who is writing book two in the series will always write about Lumi Northrop, etc. So all the characters are in Holiday Haven, a fun town in the North Pole. Our protagonist Aurora is in Holiday Haven on parole. This story had a great cast quirky characters that were tons of fun and plenty of villains and folks abusing their power and making snap judgments about other folks. True love is instantaneous and friendships form immediately and will seemingly weather the tests of time. Overall, a fun, easy listen, with a guaranteed happy ending and sprinkles of magic throughout. The mystery is not really a mystery more of a we need to be able to prove it thing. But overall a pretty good start to a new holiday series. I must say one of the main reasons I have not read Bella before is because of her narrator Johanna Parker who sadly I just don't enjoy and for a while was making me dislike the story. I got this series anyway because I saw the other authors in the series who I love and also noticed the Johanna is only narrating Bella's books. We all have different voice/accent preferences that we can check through the sample and this is just not my cup of tea and at times it was just downright distracting. But for folks that like laidback supernatural cozy, with silly Christmas puns, light romance, and light magic this might be one to try out. Another quick note to share that the main story ends at Chapter 15 and then a short story (Humbug Holiday) starts at Chapter 16 through to the end.

Cute story narrator sounded bored.

I think the stories were really cute. Love the snooty sound to Mrs. Claus instead of sticky sweet. However the narrator for Aurora made her sound bored and disengaged to all of it. Even when she finally found her joy, made her sound monotone.

Down home Christmas

I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas mystery story. I really like the narrator's southern accents. I love listening to a good southern accent...it so reminds me of home.

Friends, family & Christmas.. .you can't beat that.

Bella has the best stories

I am a big Bella Falls fan. Her books are amazing and this book didn't disappoint. Christmas will always have a little Bah Humbug in it for me now.

Loved it

Bella Falls has crafted a sweet and wonderful holiday story. It’s filled with well developed characters who quickly seem to be friends. Johanna Parker gave a stellar performance as she brought it all together and to life. I’ve already purchased the next book/audiobook in the wonderful story. I highly recommend this to cozy paranormal fans.

Light hearted, yet keeps your attention

I really enjoy this author and I love this book incorporates the magic of Christmas. It is a mystery, but lighthearted enough that you can listen while working and still be productive.
