Twelve Slays of Christmas by Jacqueline Frost
4.0
Technically, I giving this 3 1/2 stars until Goodreads gets with the program.
I'm not sure what to make of this one. I enjoyed reading every moment, but the mystery could've been a little better. I liked the small-town setting and the overall world-building. The descriptions were detailed, but not too over the top. Holly and Evan's chemistry was a highlight for me. I wouldn't have minded if the slow burn between them went until at least the sequel, but I still adored them. I didn't find the pacing too slow or too rushed. Moments were delving into getting to know the characters, but the events concerning the mystery weren't too far behind.
Overall, I found myself more intrigued by the town of Mistletoe and its traditions than by the mystery, yet I couldn't put it down and I want to read more.
