•••••••••

REVIEW: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS is the ninth instalment in Terry Spear’s contemporary, adult SILVER TOWN WOLF / Heart of the Wolf paranormal romance series focusing on the wolf shifters of Silver Town. This is wolf shifters Silver Town hotel co-owner Meghan MacTire, and Sheriff Peter Jorgenson’s story line. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Meghan and Peter) HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS follows the building relationship between Silver Town hotel co-owner Meghan MacTire, and Sheriff Peter Jorgenson. As the Christmas holidays approach, Meghan MacTire is hoping her long-time beau Sheriff Peter Jorgenson will ask her to mate but when an ex-boyfriend demands a second chance, Meghan gets suspicious considering said ex-boyfriend knows Meghan’s secret, a secret our heroine is desperate to keep buried.

Meanwhile, Meghan and her sisters are able to see and speak to the spirits who have yet to move on, and in this the Silver Town hotel resident ghost Chrissy, has some surprising information for our story line heroine. Hoping to help Chrissy cross-over, Meghan goes in search of Chrissy’s beloved, a man whose own death brings up too many memories from the past. As Peter struggles to move beyond his own demons, his mating with Meghan is put on hold when Peter’s former love demands retribution for sins of the past.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS is a story of family, betrayal, vengeance and love. There is an inordinate amount of telling not showing, and in this the redundancy tends to overwhelm. Repetition of events slows down the story line build up, as the reader is subjected to numerous replays of story line development, plot points and information. The premise is entertaining; the romance is gradual and passionate; the characters are numerous, colorful and energetic including several ghosts who have yet to move on.
