RS: Charming Holiday Fiction: Link by Link Edited by Meg Dailey & Thankfully in Love by Anna J. Stewart


Link by Link Edited by Meg Dailey

 

A charming collection that proves not all ghosts are scary. Most of the ghosts in this story have returned to right wrongs and support loved ones. One or two I’m not sure are ghosts; they are supernatural creatures that only certain individuals or animals can see. The volume is value-packed, with each tale being so complete that it deserves an individual mention.

 

Between the Quiet by Candace Robinson –is a sweet tale where a friend cares enough to attempt matchmaking from beyond the grave. The Spirit of You by Elle Beaumont – another sweet tale featuring a boyfriend who cares enough for a lingering farewell. I Saw Her Again by Lauren Emily Whalen – is an inclusive story about lost love and regret. Yesterday’s News by Leslie Rush – explores the ability of a message from the past to alter the future.

 

Paw Prints by Kristin Jacques – is an incredibly cute tale that asks whether pets might actually know best? Coffee Talk by M. Dalto – is a charming love story. But who are the invisible mentors? Bound by What by Jess Moore – a morality tale where a woman is tasked with the burden of preventing a tragedy her selfishness caused. Charing Cross by Pam S. Dunn –is a unique detective story with “gaslamp” fantasy overtones. The Recipe for Cornbread by C. Vonzale Lewis – is a tale where Grandmother appears to help prepare the festive meal. This one dug deep emotionally and I think it was my favorite.

 

I read an advance review copy provided by Book Sirens, and I write reviews because I really enjoy reading.




 Thankfully in Love by Anna J. Stewart


Thankfully good! Four excellent holiday romances: they are clean romances, but you can feel the emotions better that way. 

NO PLACE LIKE HOME by Anna J. Stewart – verged on being a holiday thriller.

SECOND CHANCES by Kayla Perrin – combined a holiday break up with the dream of “the one that got away”. 

DOG-GONE HOLIDAY by Melinda Curtis - employed a bit of magical realism. 

LOVE GUIDES THE WAY by Cari Lynn – I don’t know about you, but I found this one to be a tear-jerker. 

I read a review copy supplied by Book Sirens, and am happy to recommend any of these stories to someone wanting positively themed festive entertainment.
