REVIEW:

Merry Christmas to my followers!

Christmas by Kay Bratt is going to be a very special Christmas present for many of us because of its release on Christmas Day. Pre-order it now, so it will be waiting in your inbox in the morning. I can’t think of a better gift to give yourself than the next exciting installment of the Hart’s Ridge series. This is book eleven and it is so good. They just get better and better.

There is a tragic murder of a family on Christmas Eve in the small town of Hart’s Ridge. The remaining family members are devastated and our favorite character Taylor is out of work on medical leave. Her husband Sam has made her promise that she will not get involved in the investigation. How can she stay away? She has to find a way to help and still not break her promise to Sam.

The characters in this book and series are what really draws me in. I feel like I know them personally and I always am looking forward to hearing more of the news from Hart’s Ridge. Even the characters I didn’t like in the beginning are included in the ones I care about. Taylors father was a drunk back when she was young and left caring for her siblings, but now it looks like he is trying to turn his life around. That is just one of the reasons I keep reading this series.

The crimes that take place in Hart’s Ridge are horrific. Your eyes tear up and your heart breaks for the families involved. Kay Bratt has done a wonderful job with this series and her fans want to see that series continue. I don’t want it to end! I would eventually like to see a yearly update so we know what is going on with Taylor and her family who run a rescue and boarding facility on their property. See! I told you there is a lot going on. 

If you love long series, crime stories, small towns and characters you can grow to love and consider part of your own family, then this series is something you should consider taking a deep dive into. I never was a series reader but now I can’t seem to stay away from them. I’m always waiting for the next book to come out. Are you the same way? Until next time…Happy Reading!
