I really adore this series and this book is a lovely edition. A Christmas carnival at an old, gorgeous mansion restored to a hotel, on the cliffs overlooking the water?! Yes please! I always love learning anything that Shannon Hammer has to offer from the descriptions of the gorgeous desk to the creepy gargoyles has me wanting to get back to my volunteer house reno days.  I just love Lighthouse cove and all of Shannon's friends and this cozy time of year made the book even more enjoyable.  Especially Mac and Shannon who are the best couple. What was not enjoyable (by design) were some of the snarky characters, who honestly have no right to be so rude and grumpy. But even so I was itching to find the villain and was SHOCKED by the ending! 

Note: I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed it.
