I’ve fallen in love with Jane Frost and cannot wait to see what happens next in the series!
A really fun freebie from Kristen Painter!
4 stars – It was really good
Winter elf Jayne Frost has been sent to Nocturne Falls to investigate the disappearance of employees at Santa’s Workshop. Her father, Jack Frost, and her uncle, Santa Claus, believe she can keep the investigation quiet and find out the truth.
I really enjoy this cozy mystery set in Nocturne Falls. While the Nocturne Falls series deals with different couples with every book, this series is just from Jayne’s perspective as she is solving cases.
Working in Santa’s Workshop is the first time Jayne gets a glimpse of what normal life is like. The glamor she is using hides her true face so no one knows she is the winter princess. While on the hunt for the truth of the missing employees Jayne makes new friends, runs into her ex-boyfriend, and goes on a few dates with the hot vampire, Greyson. I really enjoyed Jayne and her penchant for snooping.
While there are light hints of romance in this book, with Greyson and Cooper, the main focus is on Jayne searching for the missing employees. Nocturne Falls is one of my favorite romances, but this change to cozy mystery actually worked really well in this setting. Also I loved the focus on friendship in this one, especially since it’s kind of new for Jayne.
Also, I love that she adopted a cat almost right away and that his name is Spider. It’s adorable.
Fun new take on fantasy!
Loved this!!
I was hooked right away and enjoyed every minute of it! Hope to be getting my hands on the next one very soon!
Well done! I enjoyed this story and will be moving on to the next book in the series. It’s a perfect mix of mystery, romance, and fun!

Kristen Painter is one of my favorite writers. And this book is no exception!
Jayne Frost is cool and clever, add a sexy vamp and a mystery to solve, and you won’t be able to put this first in series book down!
Loved, loved, loved! An amazing start to this new Mixture Falls series. Look forward to reading the rest of the series.
It was easy reading, but entertaining. The characters in it were interesting and likeable. The story was cute and interesting.

This was a fun mystery to listen to with a great storyline. Look forward to reading more Kristen Painter.
Sometimes I wish I had magic like Jayne Frost.
A well written, fun to read, Cozy Mystery with a sense of humor.
Love these books! I listened to the series, but couldn’t resist buying a few ebooks just have them on my kindle. I’ll probably end up buying them all. Jayne, Winter Princess and amateur sleuth, is so funny!
Kristen Painter has a GREAT imagination and sense of humor. If you want a fun little mystery, don’t miss this one.
I grabbed this book when it was free on Amazon. What a great delight. I loved the whole story. I’m very happy I picked up this book and am looking forward to going on to the next one.
