When an unknown family member shows up for the holidays, everyone is eager to find out his story. However, what they encounter is something even more detrimental than they all expected.
This is an easy, entertaining story that I’d recommend if you’re looking for a quick read.
I went into this novella expecting something humorous. Once again, I refused to read the synopsis before I opened the book and I am really glad I did because this little novella was a fun and unexpected surprise.
True to form, Jeaniene Frost totally delivered with Home For The Holidays! Packed with all of the suspense and action that we are used to in her full length novels, Home For The Holidays also throws you for a loop left and right with twist after twist.
The big mystery of the day was one I did not at all see coming! A completely unique story line from everything else in this series and we meet a new mysterious and intriguing character.
The super fun part of this book is that it brings everyone back together. Almost. Of course we have Cat and Bones, the HOTTEST couple in vamp fiction. We also get to visit with the likes of Denise and Spade, Kira and Mencheres, Ian, Annette and Fabian. My obsession with Cat and Bones set aside for a moment, I forgot how much I missed the rest of this cast!!
I dont want to say too much more. Go! Read!! You can grab this title on Amazon right now for less than a buck!
I give Home For The Holidays 5 stars!!!
Short and sweet I have an addiction to these fictional characters and it’s bad! Bones finds out that he has a long lost brother. But things are not what they seem. His brother is demon possessed, he has been since he was human. That demon uses Bones’s brother to possesse Bones, Mencheres, Spade, and the rest of the gang besides Cat, Ian and Denise. So it’s Ian, Cat and Denise to the recuse. Will they find a way to get rid of the demon without killing the host or will they lose their loved ones forever?
There is a lot packed into this novella. Although it is like 150 pages so…. but it was so very good. Bones and Cat are stronger then ever, fighting for their love. In the last book I didn’t feel them as much, it was like their relationship took a backseat to the plot. But they are front and centered in this one. There are some super intense and sweet moments. Cat and Ian teaming up was too funny. Ian shined in this book too. Ian has so much too him then what he shows, I can’t wait to see the woman that knocks Ian on his cocky butt! I missed Vlad in this book, but that’s okay since I am reading his book next 🙂 Great book, sweet ending and we learned a little secret about Ian.
When Bones learns he has family from his unknown father he embraces him with open arms. Unfortunately his plans don’t include Kat. So when Bones pushes her away and out of their home Kat knows something isn’t right and she will do anything to get her husband back. This was a great short read and I loved getting more of my favorite characters.
