Interesting read, giving a little more information to the build up of Joker War. Not something I will continue after the portions for Joker War but I am happy I read this tie in. I plan to read the other two.

This story seemed all over the place. IT was going to be one I did not finish but since I had so much done, I pushed through. If I had the option to give 2.5, that would have been my rating. Weak mystery, slow romance and loss of interest in the characters about half way through.

I am a Christina Lauren fan. I say that first because I will read almost anything they out out. This story was a 3.75 for me. I picked up this book hoping to have a little Christmas love brought in to my life. The cover, the title and the premise all seemed to point to a Christmas romance with a Groundhog Day feel; however, Christmas was barely there, instead surrounding a season. It was still well written and the story was still great. Just not what I was expecting. Being the fan that I am, I finished the book before they did their runs on instagram stating that it wasn't a Christmas book. If you are fan, I still recommend this story to you.
