“A blend of holiday inspirational and romance that adopts a more detailed story than most novels in either genre ... embracing both holiday spirit and a growth process that begins with pain and prejudice and moves steadily outward into recognizing new opportunities. The result embraces more than its title's promise, making The Christmas Spirit an inspirational story that is much needed and highly recommended year-round.” ~Midwest Book Review
“A one-of-a-kind paranormal romance with a good balance between heart-wrenching drama and light comedy. The fast pace is consistent and the suspense is wild, making the book unputdownable. The twist at the end is just priceless. This is one of those books that can be made into a blockbuster movie. The excitement does not change whether it is read around the Christmas season or not.” ~Risah Salazar, Readers' Favorite
“A bit of a ghostly “Christmas Carol” story ... there is definite substance here. This is more than romance--a fun, memorable read. I hope we see more of this author in the future.” ~Feathered Quill Book Awards Judges’ Comments
