Ghosts and Magic
Mary has done it again. She helped Nick and the six little ones to the white light on Christmas Eve. Rosie and Stanley were so sweet with their sneaking around to bring Christmas to Mary since she couldn't go home.
She even met Santa.

It's nice to get an origin story for two of the main support characters of the book series!
As always, the book is well written. I'd have given it five stars except for the strong religious overtones, which I always have difficulty with. But I enjoy the stories, so I keep coming back!

Mary O'Reilly short story. Stranded in her new house over Christmas due to a storm, this story tells how Mary meets her two elderly friends who readers know quite well from the usual books.
Lovely story, good plot and what I would call a typical charming Mary O'Reilly!
Thank you to the author for this little gem.

A really cute short story that makes you feel good
This was a great little tale of how believing in the spirit of christmas can make you open your heart and feel the true meaning of the holidays. I really enjoyed it and the way the author presented it to the reader.

Great
Somehow missed this wonderful short story when Mary first met Stanley. Nice little mystery and a sweet conclusion. I own as many as Terri Reid's books as possible and will add this to my collection.

Pleasant little story
Quite a pleasant story I would say more of a young adult type, has had a free download of a couple of Terri Reid books and they are of a paranormal style.

Your Saving Grace
I've read every one of your books and now I'm starting over. My wonderful husband died last November and the grief is still tearing me apart. Your books I know will help me block some of the pain and give a much needed comfort over the weeks ahead. I'm eagerly waiting for the new book and Mary's new baby! Thank you.

This was a very nice story for the Christmas season. I don't think you can go wrong with a Santa story.

I enjoyed the story. It was heartwarming. My problem is the timeline. I hate going backwards. I would have rather read this early in the series. It is actually a prequel as was the Three Wise Guides. I like the filler short stories to progress the series, not give background. But that is just me.
