Foxing Day

Rate this book
Natalie should’ve known better than to agree to help with anything related to a Val and Caedmon New Year’s Eve party in Deadlights Cove. At the time, she thought it would be simple, but those two don’t have simple in their vocabulary.

As if she didn’t have enough on her plate between playing guitar in the Lost Talisman, wolf pack responsibilities, and running her own business, she impulsively invites Casey, a local fox shifter, to live with her for the holiday season.

Out of options aside from her bandmate Dillon’s uncomfortable couch, Casey agrees to move in, even when Natalie insists he help with party decor. He’s more than ready for a little breathing room from all his newly mated and settled friends, and if the cost is cutting out dozens of paper chains? No problem.

What might be a problem, though? Falling for his new roommate when she’s made it clear they should just be friends.

--Follow Natalie and Casey’s story, along with our familiar band of quirky misfits, in this Deadlights Cove novella. While this is a stand-alone, please note that this story takes place after the end of Karma is a Witch and there may be spoilers for the series as a whole.

I've only read the novellas so far, but this series just makes me smile all the damn time.

A wonderful festive read for the most wonderful time of year.

Is anyone surprised to know I absolutely loved this??

I really enjoyed getting to know Natalie and Casey. We got glimpses of Natalie in Pier Pressure and Casey in Deja Brew, but I was glad they got the opportunity to tell their story. This was also the first time we really got a glimpse at the Wolf Pack of the Cove and I soaked up every little detail.

Natalie and Casey are just precious little babies and I love them. I WANT MORE!!

We got to see a little more of some of our favorite residents of the cove. And a lot of a couple characters in particular and had I known bets were being placed I would have gotten in on it.

B and Aimee did it again. Call me a real estate agent because I'm moving to Deadlights Cove and never leaving. I will always love this world and the characters that weave chaos through it.

My heart feels so full.

“Do you always sleep naked?”

His brows rose, that stupid smirk he wore so often creeping up. “Why? Wondering if you’ll get a sneak peek of anything… else? You could just ask nicely and I’ll show you whatever you want.”


I loved this holiday novella so freaking much. It was such a fun quick read to bring me back into Deadlights Cove.

5/5 ⭐️
A little baby pinch of red pepper flakes of spice 1/5 🌶️

I absolutely adored this, I wish it was longer. It starts off quick but for being 88 pages it makes sense to get into it right away. I thought Casey was such a good male character and was so sweet to Natalie.

Her mentioning having a competence kink actually unlocked something in my brain because same babe. Same.

I loved her character just as much. We didn’t really get a lot of her throughout the series but seeing Casey get a happy ending after his twin finding his mate in the main books was such a nice conclusion to the series as a whole.

And the surprise at the end has me so excited!

If you haven’t read the Deadlights Cove series and want FANTASTIC romantic comedy series with supernaturals like demons, angels, witches and shifters. A small town feel and just an overall addictive banter with chaotic magic. You need to add this series to your TBR!!!

And absolutely do NOT skip the novellas!

Back in my favorite place during my favorite time of year? Say less.

Not only do we get 2 new main characters who are swoon worthy on their own, but we get the coveted back story of our favorite never-stay-in-one-place coffee connoisseurs.

Take me to the Cove 🌊

Another cute novella, but not my favorite. I wasn’t super into the insta love even if it was a mating bond, and wish they talked to each other more to learn more about one another. Val and Caedmon’s back story FINALLY was given, but I wasn’t overly into the NYE party theme. I still love all of Deadlights Cove, this one just wasn’t a favorite!

Crying because I’m not a shifter in a small, magical town with a shifter soulmate. Sigh.

A shifter novella? Check
Back in my favorite little coastal small town? Double check
I adore Deadlights Cove and I’ll jump at any chance to spend a little more time there. This was a great fox/wolf shifter romance. I feel like you need to read more Deadlights Cove books to appreciate this one. But I definitely recommend.

"May the Cove live on forever."

^^^ Should this entire review just be about this dedication? Does this mean this is the end the end? Or does this mean we will have surprise novellas and one-shots forever? I'M NOT OKAY. Aimee, B, the powers that be, please never stop. I might need some fan-fic if this is the end the end. I need the Cove forever. Can I be buried there?

ANYWAYS. This surprise holiday novella (which is my new favorite genre) was perfect. I love Casey, I love Natalie. I love the snow, and the little cabin, and the masquerade. I love the fox-chaos and the night sky ceiling with hanging candles. My heart is full. Thank you.

PS - What was the thing that Mo did with the wrist? Makes me think there is more story to be told ;)

Could this BE any cuter?! A short, sweet holiday novella with a little bit of spice! Perfect for this time of year.

I wasn't ready to leave the Cove after Karma is a Witch, and thankfully Aimee and B weren't either! Casey and Natalie have fantastic chemistry. I love Casey's quick wit, and his grey sweatpants! IYKYK. Of course it has guest appearances by our favorite Covies! I missed them all, and I love that we get a little taste of what they've been up to. Val and Caedmon, so adorable! I love their love story and all of its eccentricities.

This story makes my heart happy. If you're a fan of this series, this is a must read. If you haven't started yet, get yourself a copy of Smoke Show, and welcome to the Cove!

Fox shifter Casey can’t escape the happy couples popping up everywhere and is in desperate need of new digs. Luckily wolf shifter Natalie has just the newly vacated room to solve all his problems.

Now everyone knows that the skulk and the pack have a bit of a prank filled rivalry, but if anything the hint of forbidden only seems to ramp up the attraction between them. All that time together prepping decorations for the enchanted masquerade doesn’t hurt either.

I could have read so many more pages of the flirtatious back and forth between these RoomMates, but alas this was a novella and so was over far too soon. Caedmon and Val’s story at the end went a long way towards softening the blow though.

Honestly it was such a precious read and a great addition to the Cove. It had be kicking my feet a bit with its cuteness. I mean get you a tech genius prankster that will stand up to internet trolls for you in the most hilarious way possible. Loved seeing series favorites again and a hint of their lives after the “final” DC book. Especially loved seeing more of our foxy skulk 🦊🥰

Just when we thought the Deadlights Cove series was complete, Bam! A Christmas Novella! I was delighted to know this book even existed, and overjoyed when I read it.

Natalie, a wolf shifter, spontaneously invites Casey, a fox shifter, to move in with her as a temporary housing solution. But there is just something between them. Is it just loneliness? Or is it something more like fated mates… something that’s been happening to more and more of their friends. There is a snowstorm, and chaotic party planning (like only the cove does) involving crafting of many a questionable paper chain. I enjoyed every single second of it and recommend this entire series.

The Perfect Return to a Holiday Cove!

Just when we were missing our favorite Cove, and everyone in it following the end of this series, here come these sneaky authors releasing a surprise novella for the holidays. And do we love them for it? We really really do. Casey and Natalie are so sweet together, their story just flows naturally. I’m so grateful we got this glimpse back into the Cove!

Fabulous novella to add into the Deadlights Cove series. Read after Karma is a Witch or you'll get spoilers.

We met Casey (fox) and Natalie (wolf) in previous books and they've seen each other around but never interacted. Until now.
Insta attraction, on par for mates. It's a nice spicy filler story to get little more love in Deadlights Cove.

I’m so glad our fox Casey not only has a place to live but also a mate. I was worried about him for a bit there. Honestly, these authors could write nothing terrible in this world.

Spicy and Adorable

A paranormal treat and for New Years too! A fox and a wolf who can’t stay away from each other, forced proximity, and pranking an internet troll. I loved this novella!
