Review:  The Vampire and the Case of the Cozy Christmas: An Urban Fantasy Holiday Story (The Portlock Paranormal Detective #(5.5) by Heather G. Harris and Jilleen Dolbeare

Rating: 4.5⭐️

A sweet heartwarming holiday story with Bunny getting the family type of Christmas dinner and gathering she’s always dreamed about but never had. All her found family and friends have come together at Conner’s house to celebrate and share gifts. 

Sig is in the kitchen making the best food imaginable, and the wine is flowing. 

Of course it’s Portlock, so there’s a few surprises. But it’s a lovely Christmas story and a narrative present for fans of the series and characters. 

A heartwarming tale.

Love it and the cover.

Vampires, gingerbread and Christmas magic – what could possibly go wrong?

All I want is a perfect Christmas with great food, amazing friends and the love of my life by my side. The tree is decorated, the feast (cooked by a hearth witch!) is ready, and Connor’s home is buzzing with festive cheer. This year I can feel it: Christmas magic is within my reach.

Then Liv calls.

When a necromancer rings for a favour, you know it’s not about borrowing sugar. Throw in a car accident involving the town drunk and a mysterious gingerbread thief targeting poor Sigrid’s baking, and my carefully planned holiday is on the brink of collapse.

Can I juggle saving Christmas, helping my friends and making it back in time to celebrate the holiday of my dreams?

Join Bunny and Connor in this heartwarming, magical holiday tale packed with festive mischief, a sprinkle of mystery – and plenty of Christmas cheer!
