In the enchanting town of Darkly, where magic glimmers like frost on magnolia leaves, witch and travel bookshop owner Windsor Ebonwood is dreaming of a cozy Christmas filled with carols, cocoa, candlelight, and, of course, one swoony alpha shifter. But when the annual Cold Moon Gala ends with a gruesome murder—an eerie signature reminiscent of the legendary Christmas Witch, Frau Perchta—Win’s holiday plans take a sinister turn.
As whispers of Perchta’s monstrous minions swirl through the swampy mist, Win and her supernatural sleuthing circle follow the trail like fireflies through the fog. But the holiday horror escalates when a second victim—one of Win’s dearest friends—is found murdered in the same gruesome manner. Yuletide cheer turns to dread, casting a shadow even over the ancient magic that once kept Darkly safe. But in a town where magic runs deep and old grudges run deeper, nothing is as it seems. Can Win solve the mystery before the killer strikes again, or will Darkly’s Yuletide season be forever marred by deadly perils?
Brimming with quirky charm, holiday romance, and spine-tingling suspense, Christmas Carols & Yuletide Perils is a magical mystery that will keep you turning pages well past midnight. Curl up with a cup of cocoa and prepare for a holiday adventure where the carols may be sweet, but the perils are all too real.
