Thank you, Abigail Drake and Backlit PR for a copy

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the copy in exchange for a review,

I really loved this holiday thriller and I adored Tink as the main character she was sassy, fun, and perfect. I loved all the holiday details and Jax as the main love interest was amazing. I would have liked to see more Romance between the main characters. I wanted to see more of the chemistry they had and I wanted to see more from them. I have already started the next book in the series and I am loving it! Overall I would recommend this book for fans of Christmas or holiday books, and murder mysteries.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would, and it certainly kept me entertained. Delightful and recommended.

This was a rollicking bit of fun. I laughed, then I groaned, then I laughed some more. The world building is amazing. And the characters are wonderful. Tink is the perfect foil for the tight-laced Jax. And she for him. The story takes place in the North Pole and everything Christmas, which Jax doesn’t understand since he’s a “dark” elf and they don’t do things like Christmas elves. All is definitely not well at the North Pole as Tink’s good friend is murdered, and someone tries to kill her as well. Jax and Tink investigate the problems and uncover some things that have been hidden way too long. Not everything is candy canes and hot chocolate good at the North Pole. There were a couple threads left dangling so we know (hope?) we’ll be seeing more of this pair.

This story was a bright spot in my day (and maybe I needed this laugh more than I knew). It was fun, imaginative, and had a satisfying ending.

Definitely recommended.

Christmas Elf Tinkerbelle Holly has been fired from every job that she has had. She is promised a new job if she shows Dark Elf Jax around the North Pole. He is supposed to be there for an audit but he is really trying to uncover a drug ring. Tinkerbelle joins up with him to try and solve the case. Good murder mystery.

What a hidden gem of a book this was i can not say enough good things about this book I've already downloaded the other book in the series and I sincerely hope the author writes a ton more books about Tink Holly!!!! It was such a funny book at one point i was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face! The all around idea of this book and the authors imagination and writing skills were suberb!!! I will definitely and already have been recommending this book to everybody I know!!!! Loved it!!!!

What a delightful fun read! A Christmas elf who has a knack for screwing up. Haven't we all been in her shoes? Hating our job, our life and where we a.re! Sometimes help comes from the least likely places or people. The characters are fun. The story is unique and well developed. Grab a cup of cocoa and settle in. Thanks #netgalley and #BacklitPR for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.
