ARC received via author for an honest review

Since the Summersweet Island series started, Bodhi and Tess have been a great set of side characters, best friend of Palmer and Birdie.

Now, whilst I like them, to me they might have best stayed as secondary characters, as, and this is just me, Bodhi's stoner childish behaviour and Tess's rampant pyromania were just a little too much, way too full on.

Don't get me wrong, I liked where this story ended up;but by golly for me it was a bit of a struggle to put up with them. And this is nothing to do with the author or book, but all on me. And one thing that I never thought that I would say, but to me Bodhi was the more mature one this time.

It was great getting some of characters from the first 2 books, and I can never say no to a Christmas book.

I look forward to more Sweetwater Island in my future.
