Jane and Sinclair are finally visiting the North Pole, cats in tow! I found the descriptions of the North Pole in this one to be absolutely adorable. This isn’t a Christmas book, however, with all the reindeer, toymaking factories, elves and houses decorated like gingerbread and wrapped presents, it would certainly make for a lovely wintery read if you’re in the mood. And Kristen Painter is so good at writing a paranormal cozy that just makes you feel good all over.

When Jane and Sinclair (her poor Necromancer who just isn’t feeling the love since he’s not the winter elf her people were expecting) witness a elf toy competition and two of the entrants are suspiciously similar (I had to laugh at this one—chickens galore!), Jane is put on the case. The great thing about this series is there’s nothing overly heavy. Jane is all about Dr. Peppers and her mother’s fudge and being princess of the North Pole and figuring out small time crime like mysteries involving toy chickens. But when you’re in the mood for a delightful sugary cozy, this one is just right.

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

I am about to check out on this series, unfortunately. I'm going to read the next book and see where that goes, but the inconsistencies, the kidnapping theme in every book for the last four books, the permanent move from Nocturne Falls to the North Pole (this, plus Jayne getting married, may be a signal that the author is winding this series down, anyway? not sure), some areas of Jayne's personality, and other small irritations are starting to build up for me.

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year.

Jayne Frost is a lot of things. Winter elf, Jack Frost's daughter, Santa Claus's niece, heir to the Winter Throne and now...private investigator. Sort of.

Jayne takes Sinclair on a much needed visit to her winter wonderland home, the North Pole. She wants him to see what her royal life is truly like. She knows the protocol and regulations that define her existence as heir to the Winter Throne aren't for everyone and worries that it will be more than he wants to handle.

All seems well until a weird coincidence in a toy contest has some of the citizens of the North Pole giving Sinclair the side-eye. He's a necromancer, and not everyone is okay with that.

Jayne vows to prove his presence and the apparent cheating are unrelated, but digging deeper uncovers all kinds of strange occurrences that only complicate things and make another perfectly clear. Someone doesn't want Sinclair around.

When that someone cracks and takes action, Sinclair is in dangerous of losing more than his good name. Can Jayne chill the rumors that threaten the royal family and keep Sinclair from being permanently iced?
