When I first started reading this story and it started out with Erin Sinclair moping around, I thought, "Oh no, not a depressing story, not sure I want to read this one".  This is a woman who if she didn't have bad luck she wouldn't have any luck at all.  Get my point?  But I pushed on and I'm so glad I did, it made me smile, laugh, cry and wonder what the heck was going on (several times). She's staying in "Christamasville" for crying out loud, and whether or not she wants to feel any magic of the season, everything seems to conspire to keep her there and give her back her joy.  She begins to meet some VERY interesting people, including a man(that would be, Reason MacCloud) who just seems to fill more than just a room. He's a bigger than life kind of guy who just really grabs her attention, even when she's not sure she wants to be interested.  I liked the way Erin's character expressed herself and it was fun to read her trying to figure out the chaos around her, especially the Santa Society. The people in the community were interesting, unusual but interesting.  Heck, even "Klaus" the dog was interesting!!!  There was twist after twist in this story. Even some unexpected danger.  No wonder I stayed up til 1:30 in the morning just so I could read it all.  That right there says a lot.  Loved it!
