Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for allowing me to receive an eARC of The Mistletoe Mystery by Nita Prose. I read the last two Molly the maid books before this and LOOVED them. Molly is such a wonderful character. This novella fell a little short for me and it felt a little bit boring but I love Molly so I’ll read anything w her in it.

This was a cute, cozy Christmas novella that takes place about a year after the second book. I did feel like the ending was a little rushed, but overall, a great read for the Holiday season!

I love the Molly the Maid cozy mystery series so it was just such a treat to get a holiday novella featuring Molly and the gang at the hotel this holiday season!

I loved that this story focused on Molly and her relationship with her sweet beau, Juan Manuel, and how determined he is to make her holiday special. I just adore those two as a couple.

Not to fear though, this isn’t all romance. There’s still a bit of a holiday-themed cozy mystery as a Secret Santa gift exchange at the hotel really throws Molly for a loop and has her questioning who she can and can’t trust. She sees some things that give her a bad feeling and it sends her down a rabbit hole that only Molly could go down.

If, like me, you’ve been loving the Molly the Maid series, you’ll definitely want to check out this heartwarming holiday story that does a wonderful job capturing the true spirit of the season. It even has a nice nod to O’Henry’s classic Christmas short story, The Gift of the Magi, which I really enjoyed.

A very short and sweet novella about Molly the Maid and her boyfriend! Perfect thing to get you in the holiday spirit. No real “mystery” to solve here unlike the other books in the series but more of a baby romance novel. Excited for book three!

I love Molly the Maid so much. She has my heart and I LOVED this novella. So sweet and full of love.

Super quick and fun read in the Molly series! I like how chrismasy this one was and the cute relationship development! Excited to read more of the series.

The Mistletoe Mystery by Nita Prose is a novella about Molly the maid who works at the Regency Grand Hotel. As in the other books about Molly, she is a likable and very literal character. This is a quick read perfect for the holiday season.

“Waste not, want not” The famous sayings of Molly the Maid have stuck in my head since the first novel and I can tell you, her character just keeps getting better with every installment.

As always, character development was very important in this – describing the characters and all of their little quirks is what Nita excels in. The settings were familiar and therefore, details really weren’t needed but, they were there and with the timing being Christmas they were done better! The plot was perfect and kept Molly wondering until the very end. A truly wonderful story that I thoroughly enjoyed!

This quick little Christmas novella was the perfect means to get me into the spirit. The mystery was there but, the sweetness and romance was there too. I really adore this series, it’s a breath of fresh air and it’s an experience with each new book.

I give this 5️⃣⭐️ and I’m telling you, it’s a must read❗️

Thank you so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this one in exchange for an honest review!

In this novella, we follow Molly and her boyfriend as they celebrate Christmas together.

I am so sad that I really disliked this book. I was hoping for a bit of a Christmas mystery but there was really no mystery at all. The "mystery" was so obvious that I just didn't care. I also felt like this book was so sappy and cringe.

I really disliked this one but I hope others love it. I think if you go into it with a different mindset than I did, you could enjoy it more than me.

Still gathering my thoughts. I love Molly the Maid….but it was lacking the mystery that I was expecting.

Cue all the happy tears! This book was so sweet! I loved seeing a glimpse into the regular life of Molly and Juan. Their home life together. I loved the returning characters and all the holiday vibes. It was such a sweet novella!!

An adorable addition to the Maid series. I loved that it was a novella, I think anything more would have just been too much. It was the perfect little story.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest reivew.

This novella gave me all the Christmas vibes and was the story I didn’t know I needed.

It's a fun addition to the Molly the Maid series. Short and sweet, this story held my attention from start to finish, and the ending left me feeling happy and satisfied—just the way a holiday story should.

If you’ve enjoyed previous books, you’ll want to add this to your list. If you’re new to the series, I recommend starting with the earlier books to fully enjoy Molly’s quirky character.

This was a very sweet and fun holiday novella, and a bit different than the previous novels about Molly. Molly is an endearing as ever, and I love seeing her have a real relationship, and deal with some of the insecurities that come along with that.

It was fun to revisit characters we've met in previous books, and always nice to be back at The Regency Grand.

I do think it's important to read the other books about Molly prior to this one -- there are a lot of references to characters and situations that have happened in them, and there are some spoilers.

If you've enjoyed Nita Prose's previous books, I would recommend this -- it's a sweet holiday story and nice continuation of Molly's story.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book!

What a delight! Nita Prose did readers a solid by turning the world of Molly the Maid into a charming series. I gleefully read The Mistletoe Mystery as with a cup of hot chocolate. This story (like the other two) are mysterious but cozy and sweet. The story of Molly and her crew will warm readers from the inside out this winter season. One bonus of reading this little novella is hearing more details of the beloved Gran. I only hope Molly has many more books and stories in her because I have fallen for these characters.

Thank you to the publisher for my gifted copy.

Maybe I was expecting a little too much from a standalone novella in this series, but this felt wholly unnecessary and the “mystery” was only predictable and underwhelming. It’s short enough that it didn’t feel like a complete waste of time to read, but I definitely wouldn’t say it’s a must-read if you enjoyed the first two full-length mysteries and want to keep up with the series. I think you can skip this one and be just fine!

Another piece of sweet Molly the maid's life. This is a simple, precious cozy christmas story. Which is .... not what I really was in the mood for. But eh, it's okay. You know what the "mystery" is the whole time, so there's so suprise.... but sweet nonetheless.

This holiday themed novella in The Maid series makes a perfect stocking stuffer or gift for someone this holiday season-it could even be you. Anyone who has read the first two books in the series (a third will come next year), knows that Molly is unique and well-suited to her work as a hotel maid.

This time it is the Christmas season. Will all go well for Molly and Juan, the man who has come into her life? There are some challenges. Still, this is a Christmas book so readers can hope/trust that all will be well.

Enjoy this holiday read. It is fun to spend time with Molly and those around her. I recommend this title and the series.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing-Ballantine for this title. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to Netgalley, Random Publishing House, and Nita Prose for granting me this ARC!

If you haven’t read the first 2 Molly Maid novels, then you just have to! They’re cozy hotel mysteries that I just can’t get enough of! And now we’ve been given this cute Christmas cozy “mystery”!

I love how smart but naive Molly is, and I can’t spoil the ending, but she really doesn’t expect the ending at all when it happens! I feel as a reader I knew from the beginning! But that’s the Molly we have grown to love!

I can’t wait to read more of Molly’s adventures!

Thank you again for the ARC!

This is a sweet holiday novella. Love the Molly Maid series, and while this was a bit sappy and predictable, it felt perfect for the holiday season. Super festive way to bring in the holidays.
Thank you netgalley for the ARC.
