✓ Wicked and the Wallflower - Sarah MacLean (Hqn) ★★★★☆

2, 3, 4:
✓ Double Play - Kelley Armstrong ★★★★☆ 1/2
Perfect Victim - Kelley Armstrong
Cry Wolf - Maggie Shayne

Novella/Short Story:
✓ The Wassail Bowl - Mary Balogh ★★★☆☆ 1/2
✓ The Bond Street Carolers - Mary Balogh ★★★☆☆
✓ Holly Jolly - Stef Ann Holm ★★★★☆
✓ White Out - Linda Howard ★★★☆☆ 1/2
✓ Guarded by Angels - Mary Balogh ★★☆☆☆

Standalone:
✓ A Timeless Christmas - Alexis Stanton ★★☆☆☆ 1/2
✓ Murder on the SS Rosa - Lee Strauss ★★★☆☆ 1/2

Well, it's Christmas time and I'm reading about hitmen (or hitwomen). I don't know why I like these stories so much, but they are a good way to pass the time.

First I read Double Play by Kelley Armstrong. This novella takes place shortly after the 3rd book in the series.

Now its time to get back to those Christmas anthologies.

I read a novella called "Guarded by Angels" by Mary Balogh. It was in the Angel Christmas anthology.

Then I listened to Murder at Bray Manor by Lee Strauss. This was a good cozy mystery with lots of suspects.
