Jingle All the Slay by Dakota Cassidy
1st in the Marshmallow Hollow Mysteries. Paranormal holiday cozy mystery.
Welcome to Marshmallow Hollow, Maine. Where it’s Christmas all the time and murder is hung by the chimney with care.
Halliday Valentine is a psychic witch. She has recently moved to Marshmallow Hollow, a very human town, to run the family factory. Her familiar is a curmudgeonly British hummingbird. She’s also brought her ungrateful rescue cat, and Karen, her taking reindeer.
When a shady real estate tycoon shows up dead in the middle of an annual festival, Halliday teams up with the handsome Digby “Hobbs” Dainty to find the killer. Surprisingly, there aren’t too many people in town that seem to be sad.

Humorous and entertaining, this book was a fast read that had me chuckling throughout. In particular, the names of the pets and multiple women fawning over Hobbs. Don’t try to figure out the killer. It will either be super easy or someone out of left field because that’s how these mysteries run. Enjoy it for the lark it is.
Always looking forward to more crazy by this author. (

In Marshmallow Hollow, Maine, every day is Christmas. Due to the town factory that manufactures christmas decorations, the town has gone christmas crazy. It kind of reminds me of Santa Claus, Indiana, except for the theme park. But wait, there is an evil developer in town trying to get people to sell their shops and lands to develop that theme park. Unfortunately he turns up dead and it’s up to Halliday Valentine to help solve the crime. This book does connect to other Cassidy series, but it can be read as a stand alone. Atticus the hummingbird familiar is one of my favorite characters, but I think our main gal needs to be fleshed out a bit more. She is a psychic witch who hates that she has to hide her magic. This book felt long, even though it was rather short. It was a nice cozy for the holidays, and while I did buy the rest of the series, it will be held until next years holidays. I am in no hurry to read the next book in the series. (
