author: DeNardo, Jana
description: Zia, Dolores and Kane all possess the magic to fight monsters but all they want now is a nice Christmas break. Partners in life and at work as monster-slayers for a group known as the Clipeum, they've been risking life and limb keeping humanity safe. They've won their hard-earned vacation their boss has set up for them: a week in a small hotel in upper Wisconsin. Their boss mentioned in passing it used to be a gangster retreat in the heyday of prohibition.Married for some time, Zia and Dolores were surprised to have Kane in their life, first at work and now in their hearts. They're looking forward to their first holiday today as a threesome and the ladies can't wait to see their first pagan Yule celebration with Kane. All they want is some quiet relaxation. What they get is something entirely different.Gangster ghosts, would-be witches, over-enthusiastic children, animated snowmen and a century old former gangster moll who has a little spark still in her add up to a not-so-restful Christmas. Zia, Dolores and Kane trade comfy clothing and relaxation for spellcasting and ghost wrangling. Still they might just be able to rescue themselves a Merry Yule from all the chaos.
