This book is comprised of four novellas, paranormal romances taking place during four different holidays. In the first story, 'Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel' by Kim Harrison, Rachel Morgan, a witch-in-training, wishes to work with Inderland Security, but her family believes that she is much too smart to waste her talents with them, that she should study Earth Magic like her mother. Rachel tries to summon her dad for advice during the Winter Solstice and inadvertently summons a ghost instead, a ghost having unfinished business with a vampire, a ghost she can't help falling for, good one. In the second story, 'Run, Run, Rudolph' by Lynsay Sands, Jill, a shape shifter, and Nick, "Mr. Handsome Shoes," try to evade John Heathcliffe, who chases after Jill in the middle of a Christmas parade, wants to do experiments on her, my favorite of the four, very good, steamy. In the third story, 'Six' by Marjorie M. Liu, Six, a government agent, must join forces with a necromancer. Together, they bring in the New Year fighting terrorists who have teamed up with vampires, a bloody good story. In the fourth, final story, 'The Harvest' by Vicki Peterson, Zoe, a Zodiac Warrior, tries to save her granddaughter on Thanksgiving from The Tulpa in a battle of The Light vs. The Shadows, my least favorite of the four. I will definitely read more by these authors in the future!
