It seems like everyone loves this book so Idk if it's just me and not the book. I had a hard time staying interested. It seems like a story that would be perfect for me. It's fiction but wrapped in a lot of fact. The narrator has a colorful family with lives that seem like each could be their own book. The grandfather is the center of everything but really it's about the whole family. It has spy stuff, war, mental illness, rockets, just a bit of everything. It sounds great in theory, but for me, there were times I had to force myself to keep reading.

It's officially the Christmas season with Deborah Garner's new release, Snowfall at Moonglow (The Moonglow Christmas Series, Book 5)! 'No one ever leaves Timberton without renewed hope for the future.'
*Cookie and candy recipes included!

"Each year I long for the Moonglow books to get an update in the Timberton Hotel's lovely local residents and the new people we always get to know. It will get your heart warm and it will be a Christmas treat." Ana Paula Medeiros

"I love this series so much. Every time I read a book in this series the more I wish I could visit the Timberton Hotel at Christmas. Mist makes everything feel so magical." Nicole's Book Musings

"This series has become one of my eagerly anticipated Christmas traditions and I am delighted to be able to tell you how much I enjoyed visiting Mist, Betty and all the regulars again. (and lots of recipes are included for us readers to bake up later)." Stephanie Jane @ Literary Flits

"Warm and festive, with important messages about the real meaning of Christmas. Author Deborah Garner has included recipes at the end of the book once again so that readers can interact with the content and bring the cookie exchange to life." Loopyloulaura

Each holiday season, new and returning guests gather in the small town of Timberton, Montana, to celebrate Christmas at the Timberton Hotel. Resident artist and chef Mist’s unique way of offering exceptional cuisine, exquisite décor, and a touch of the unexpected, has a way of bringing visitors and local townsfolk together in heartfelt camaraderie.

As this year’s guests arrive with hopes of a white Christmas, unseasonably warm weather hints at a less-than-wintery wonderland. But whether the snow falls or not, one thing is certain: with Mist around, there's bound to be a little magic. No one ever leaves Timberton without renewed hope for the future.

Silver Bells at Moonglow, Book 2
Gingerbread at Moonglow, Book 3
Nutcracker Sweets at Moonglow, Book 4

This was done well. It seems everyone is waiting for a big snowstorm that is to be predicted. As some of the guests arrive for the holiday season. Mist just let them all settle in and get to know them at their own pace.

This seems to be a special activity that Mist seems to have pulled together for the guest at the hotel. That she gets some of the townsfolk to help out. What is this activity she has planned? Well, you will need to find out by reading.

The guests are Clara and Andrew, Michael, Max and Kinsley and Allison and the Professor. The story is heartfelt and sweet. It is a fun and enjoyable read. It loves it. Deborah Garner does a wonderful job of creating a special time for getting together.

Can I just say these covers are gorgeous?!
There is a were infected with syphilis killing those that have a certain smell. It turns out it's Daisy's perfume and she is a target. Miranda and Archer from the first book make appearances as do the subjects of book 3, Poppy and Winston.
I wasn't crazy about Ian's attitude in the first book and was pleasantly surprised at his evolution to hero in this one. Learning about the difference between "were" and "Lycan" was interesting. I also liked that this world was expended. There are the GIMs (Ghost in the Machine), the SOS (Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals), the reveal of Daisy's ability (and Poppy's). Nice mystery. We meet Ian's valet, Jack and another GIM Mary who will be the subjects of book 4.
Poppy and Winston's story promises to be interesting.
