On that note, I really enjoyed the character development as a whole and the way the characters stayed so true even when written by different authors. That says, it has an absolutely brilliant ending which ties up the three novellas by reuniting many of the characters. I didn't find the narrator as engaging as the other two, and her story didn't resonate with me as much as the other two. It's perhaps the weakest in the collection - although to be fair, that's more a sign of just how good the other two are than a major criticism of this one. Lauren Myracle's closing story, The Patron Saint of Pigs, sees the rather self-centred Addie promise to pick up a teacup pig for her friend. It's a perfect Christmas read - heartwarming, smile-inducing, and gorgeously written. It's massively predictable, the narrator seems pretty similar to every other John Green male lead I've ever read, and I absolutely loved it anyway. She has a great writing style which has definitely left me wanting to read more of her books!Ī Cheertastic Christmas Miracle, John Green's contribution to the collection, sees two guys and a girl go on a perilous journey to the Waffle House to take a Twister game to their friend and the 14 cheerleaders. Somehow, this is the first Maureen Johnson story I've ever read - I picked up The Name of the Star after her wonderful discussion with James Dawson a few weeks ago, but haven't got round to reading it yet. Jubilee, the boy she meets, and his family are vivid, well-drawn characters and it's an engaging story. The Jubilee Express, following Jubilee as she's torn away from her boyfriend Noah to go and stay with her grandparents, is an excellent opener to this themed collection. Three best-selling authors team up to tell the story of this Christmas in a trio of interlinked novellas. She ditches the train, and ends up in a waffle house with fourteen cheerleaders and various teen boys. Sent to stay with her grandparents, her train gets stuck. ![]() On Christmas Eve, the night of the worst storm in 50 years, Jubilee Dougal's parents are arrested after a riot over decorative houses. I found this a really good read.Summary: Heartwarming festive collection will make an ideal Christmas present for teen fiction fans. ![]() Police personnel’s home lives are part of the problem. “The tension is well-paced and, as in real life, there’s more than one case running together. “Bird manages to create more than enough suspense to keep the reader turning pages to find out what happens.” -Charles Salzberg, The Big Thrill Magazine “ Let It Snow is an enjoyable fireside treat, though it certainly isn’t sanitised, it’s a warming police procedural for any point in the winter.” -Mal McEwan, Crime Fiction Lover Highly recommended, even for those who don’t usually dig police procedurals.” -Chris Rhatigan, Publisher, All Due Respect Books Bird even manages to make one of the most hated characters in fiction (or life-the cop killer-engaging and interesting.

If that wasn’t bad enough, record snowfall has created chaos within the police department.
