What a brilliant short-story! I loved the lights and the Ghost of Christmas Future. Although short, this is powerful and reflects upon how life can be if circumstances are against you. It has the feel of a psychological thriller to it, and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep your attention.
This was a fantastic seasonal read, so different from the warm and fuzzy stories you normally get. I thought the ending was unexpected and perfect, and so I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this amazing story.

Eeva and Sawyer were young star-crossed lovers - neither of them prepared to make that first step and both of them feeling let down by the other. Five years later, they get a second chance.
This is a warm and low-angst story that will melt your heart on a cold winter night. Eeva and Sawyer have a great supporting cast, including Sol who was adorable.
The descriptions are very well done and the pacing is perfect for the story. All in all, this was a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

Nov 5, 2023
Eyv finds out his betrothal is being broken in favour of his younger brother. In anger, he bites off the hand of his 'beloved.' In return, his father crushes his heartstone and Evy gets sentenced to death. Nice, huh?! Durango is Boone's brother and one of the dragons sent to rescue Eyv. Their attraction is pretty much instant, but they have to cope with the whole, you know, dying part of not having a heartstone.
This was a great addition to the series but I would recommend reading it as a series rather than a standalone. It is full of characters we met in the first book, as well as new ones. There are also more rescues so that ramps up the political situation too.
Lake's story was perfect for him and Boone, just as this one is perfect for Eyv and Durango. I love their family and can't wait to see what happens next for them.
Definitely recommended by me.

The characters are grounded for a circus setting; in fact, the book is a bit more serious in tone than I was expecting. It took me a bit to get all the characters straight, but I was soon able to. Pi felt a bit immature to me a time or two, but it was minor. Likewise, the pacing stalled a couple of times, but nothing that lasted long. There were some good surprises and twists along the way to the logical climax. I enjoyed the Northern California setting. This appears to be a rare cozy standalone, but if we get a sequel, I will gladly revisit these characters. Those looking for an unusual cozy will be glad they picked this one up.

As with all Caris Roane's books, this is very well-written. It may only be a short story, but a full story is here. Nothing has been skimped on, instead you can settle in for a very good read. Personally, I would recommend that you start at book one, just to get the full enjoyment of the world of the Flame, but it isn't fully necessary. You 'could' read them in any order and as a standalone, but I do feel that you would miss something out of this well-developed world. With no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow, I can highly recommend this short story.
