The Twilight Before Christmas: A Novel by Christine FeehanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I suppose that this is going to be a re-issue since the original book was written in 2003.
The romance part of this book kind of annoyed me. It was super saccharin sweet, and if I heard Matt say how slender Kate was one more time, I may have plucked my eyeballs out! It was steamy, though, so a lot of readers are going to love that part!
However, the mystery and paranormal aspects were excellent. Having all of this happen during the Christmas season was risky for Ms Feehan, but it worked beautifully.
I haven't read the first book in this series, so I really don't have anything to go on.

SUMMARY: "A passionate and paranormal novel of love and mystery at Christmastime from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author and “magnificent storyteller” (RT Book Reviews) Christine Feehan.
Kate Drake, a well-traveled bestselling novelist, is one of seven sisters…who just happen to be witches. When she returns to her small coastal hometown before Christmas to attend her sister’s wedding, she decides to settle there permanently after discovering a charming but run-down historic house. She’s determined to open a bookstore there and sets about clearing it out when an earthquake occurs, knocking down part of the wall and revealing a burial crypt.
Intrigued but cautious, she turns to a handsome carpenter but she begins to sense that neither the carpenter nor the law nor any otherworldly power can help her reign in the evil that was released from the crypt. She will have to summon all of her supernatural power—and that of her six sisters—to destroy the sinister force that is casting a dark shadow over her hometown in this novel where “dark suspense and sensual romance coexist…in unlikely but perfect harmony” (Publishers Weekly)."
