Review:

Yayy! Book 5!

Christmas is finally over and life has slowed down for Jayne for now. Jayne has a new beau and she's beginning to think he is the one. He has a cat that Spider likes and everything seems great. That is...until Myra Grimshaw's death reveals the elderly fae seemed to have a strange obsession with Jayne's royal family and she has a lot of unauthorized objects that should only belong to a winter elf including a very questionable snow globe. Overnight a huge whiteout of magical snowstorm hits the town and Birdie is kidnapped. Can Jayne save the town, her crown, and her friends?

This was of the most intense mysteries Jayne has faced yet! There was a lot at play here and everything was tied together somehow, someway. I'm glad the author upped the game here. The last couple the mystery seemed rather easy to solve, but this one I was unsure how Jayne was going to fix EVERYTHING and figure out what was going on. 

And that twist about Myra. That was great. 

I'm beginning to like Jayne's new boy. I'm sad it didn't work out with the vamp because I adored him, but this new guy seems to be perfect for her and Spider and I am happy. 

Can I just say how happy I am that the original narrator is back!!!!! Don't get me wrong...the guy who did 4.5 was good, but I adore this narrator so much more. Her voices are perfect for the characters. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this one. Probably one of my favorites of the series so far. The mystery was fun and I had no idea how Jayne was going to save everyone and everything. I'm liking the romance and the original narrator is back. Yayy! I'll give this 5 stars. No issues. Adored it.
