Resumen del Editor

Everyone lives a day differently… and sometimes the lives of the people living that day intersect.

As Doc Delaney prepares for his annual party on Christmas Eve in Lake Caywood, so do Jack and Amelia Porter, Ruby Gallagher, and Jasper Lane. The season is one that should be full of wonder and merriment, but a specific box on the page of a calendar doesn’t necessarily eliminate the secrets that exist in a town, nor does it prevent unexpected truths from being shared. Over the course of twenty-four hours, the lives of several locals are changed for both the better and the worse—just in time for the holidays.

Captivating with an incredible feel!

Jack, Amelia, Ruby, Jasper, Doc … all preparing for Doc’s annual Christmas Eve party. The day’s events, some years in the making, affect each differently. These are their stories, beautifully, interestingly, and yes, captivatingly told from each’s individuals perspective. I listened enthralled, and then I listened again, from start to finish! Not because I didn’t understand, everything was perfectly clear. I was just awestruck by this story! I needed to experience it again! No spoilers! Go in cold like I did, you won’t be sorry! The writing, the characters, the dialogue… it ALL felt so eerily REAL! This stunning, eye opening, story about choices made, and futures altered, came alive thanks to the brilliant, beautifully clear, emotional narration that perfectly captured the haunting ambiance intended by the author! The feel I got while listening was incredible! This story really made me think! There will be another listen in my future, probably more than one! Five soul searching stars! I loved it!

A Lake Caywood Christmas

Hannah Rae and Cassandra Alling team up again to bring the feel of Christmas to life. A quick listen that follows the ups and downs of five Lake Caywood residents leading up to Christmas. Full of intertwined events and relations with a bit of Christmas magic sprinkled throughout. Definitely worth the listen, five stars.

Wonderful Holiday Novella

Hannah Rae does it again! I love the imagery in this book- I can feel the snow, taste the savory food at Doc’s and vibe each character in this beautifully developed and perfectly written Holiday Novella—this is a great way to start your Hannah Rae journey into her world of books. Cassandra’s performance is amazing and kept me entertained the whole time. This book definitely leaves me wanting to know more…which is perfect because there are many more amazing books to keep you learning about each character in Lake Caywood!

This was fun.

Short, but sweet. I enjoyed hearing five of Lake Caywood's most interesting characters tell their own versions of what happened on a magical Christmas Eve. And I just adore that Fergus!

Holiday Magic

If you are looking for a cozy holiday read, without the cheesy Hallmark ending, this is the novella for you. Rae's story follows the paths of five different characters on a single Christmas Eve. Through the characters' narration, you see that the characters in this quaint, Hallmark-esque town have their secrets which will keep you wanting to learn more about their pasts and their futures. Not only is the story filled with holiday magic, but Alling's performance is magical as well. Paired with Rae's detailed characterization, Alling does an amazing job of bringing each narrator to life by giving them all a distinct voice. This is definitely a listen that I will return to each holiday season.
