If you are looking for a cute cozy to get you in the Christmas mood, look no further because "The Twelve Slays of Christmas" does just that. Holly has just returned home to Mistletoe, Maine for the holidays after her fiance called off their wedding. In order to get over the loss, she immerses herself in work on her parents Christmas tree farm and it's there that the reader becomes introduced to the entire zany cast of characters. Soon after the book begins, a townswoman named Margaret is found dead on the property after making numerous people upset. The tree farm is now abuzz with investigations from the new detective in town and it is ruining the annual Reindeer Games.
This book is just so much fun. I'm not even a huge reader of Christmas-themed tales but I devoured it in a few days. The tree farm is so quaint and the activities associated with Reindeer Games sound like so much fun even a Scrooge would enjoy them. I really enjoyed meeting all the residents of Mistletoe, Maine and of course the mystery kept me on my toes as well. This book is Christmas through-and-through and I am wondering what the author has planned for the next installment because I can't imagine anything other than Christmas tales in this setting. I mean, even Holly's cat (where's the dog love cozy writers???) is named Cindy Lou. I will warn you there that there is tons of talk about food in the book though - from pies and cookies to cocoa and cupcakes. I was seriously hungry through half of it.
"Twelve Slays of Christmas" earns 5/5 because the mystery kept me on my toes, the characters were a blast and the setting definitely put me in the Christmas mood. If any of that interests you, then I suggest you start this series as well!
