Review & Giveaway: The Bite Before Christmas by Jeaniene Frost and Lynsay Sands

The Bite Before Christmas Anthology, which includes:
Home for the Holidays by Jeaniene Frost
The Gift by Lynsay Sands
Published October 25th 2011 by William Morrow
About the book
In Lynsay Sands' "The Gift," Katricia Argeneau knows grey-eyed cop Teddy Brunswick is her life mate. She just needs to convince him they belong together, and being snowbound in a secluded cabin will make this a Christmas neither will forget.

It's "Home for the Holidays" in Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series. Cat and Bones may long to wrap presents and set up a tree, but this Christmas, an evil vampire and long-buried family secrets will threaten to take a bite out of their holiday cheer.
My Thoughts
Home for the Holidays by Jeaniene Frost

Two vampires and a demon, allied together. It was a Christmas miracle alright, but of the macabre kind. Still, I’d take my miracles however I could get them.

I love.love.love Frost’s way of exploding a scene, and Home for the Holidays just proves that she doesn’t need a full on novel to get you hooked, amped and on the edge of your seat.

In this story, my favorite Urban Fantasy couple come across a demon that claims to be someone from Bones’s past and the entire gang, with the exception of Cat, Ian and Denise, find themselves possessed by black magic. Cat and Ian team together to save their friends, but have to make a few sacrifices along the way. I loved the scenes between Ian and Cat because knowing how much these two are always at odds with each other and the only thing they share is their allegiance for Bones, it was nice to see them work together and deliver some pretty funny scenes.

Overall, there was tons of action and holiday spice and I enjoyed it. Great short story that proves Frost never disappoints!
