Ben Prescott hates Christmas—he’s a vampire, and to
him, there’s certainly nothing jolly about the holiday season. While the humans
are running around being merry, he’s hunting in the shadows. Ben plans to spend
the holidays his way…by stalking deadly prey.
But fate has other plans for Ben.
Three visitors are coming Ben’s way…A demon who will
force Ben to face his past, a ghost who will show Ben the present he could
have, and a shifter who will reveal the darkness that waits in Ben’s future.
Unless Ben can change his ways, he may just turn into a real monster, one who
can’t be saved by anyone or anything.
‘Tis the season…to be undead.’
Ben’s redemption rests in the hands of the one woman
he loved and lost—Simone Laurent. If Ben is going to have a chance at being more
than just the beast in the darkness, he has to prove himself to the lovely
Simone. A very hard task, considering that, once upon a Christmas Eve, Simone
died in Ben’s arms…

I’m not really a
vampire book reader but I couldn’t resist this paranormal take on The Christmas
Carol, especially as author, Cynthia Eden, was offering free days on Amazon! This is a unique, endearing twist to the traditional holiday tale.
Ben is busy with
his usual during the yuletide season, stalking prey and sucking the life out of
them, when he gets his first of three visitors, the demon William Marley.
Despite the fact that Ben prides himself on using his vamp powers to hunt down only
criminals and killers, he eventually learns that he may not exactly be 100% in the
know about his alleged victims.
Between the demon
Marley, the ghost of his former love Simone, and the panther shapeshifter, Ben
is taught a thing or two to try get him to change his ways of heading too far down
into the dark side. Ben also discovers the real depth of Simone’s love for him, from the beyond.
This is a charming,
short, and sometimes sizzlingly sexy read that will give paranormal and seasonal readers
a sweet bit of Christmas. Grab a copy for a feel good read during your holidays. 4.3 Stars!
