“I promise,” I murmured, feeling a weight lift from my stomach. I crushed the file to my chest and vowed to do as she said—to not think about murderers, The Hex Files, death and despair of any sort. At least until the new year.
I walked Evelyn downstairs, watching as she reclaimed Woofie and waved a hand in greeting at everyone. Then I walked her outside and, in a whirl of glittering snowflakes and a yip of the Santa Claus pup, Evelyn disappeared in a gleaming flash of white.
I turned toward the house, glanced down at the file burning in my hands.
I made my way over to the chair and slipped in next to Matthew.
“What do you have there?” he asked as I tucked the file beneath my mother’s gift to Primrose.
“I’ll tell you later,” I said with a real smile and a nod at the mistletoe that had appeared above us on a charm from Willa. “Tonight, let’s celebrate.”

Now for a thank you...
To all my readers, especially those of you who have stuck with me from the beginning.
By now, I’m sure you all know how important reviews are for Indie authors, so if you have a moment and enjoyed the story, please consider leaving an honest review on Amazon or Goodreads. I know you are all very busy people and writing a review takes time out of your day—but just know that I appreciate every single one I receive. Reviews help make promotions possible, help with visibility on large retailers and most importantly, help other potential readers decide if they would like to try the book.
I wouldn’t be here without all of you, so once again—thank you.
