SILVER BELLS: A CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY
Sandy Lender
GENRE: Horror
BLURB:
There’s more than the Christmas Spirit hovering around Reindeer Creek this holiday season.
An eerie backdrop to her dearest friend’s new home disturbs Ivy Light, but the Harris family’s personal security detail—the debonair John Knightley—intrigues her greatly. The handsome gentleman has his hands full with his client being stalked by more than unethical business moguls. There are hybrid wolf-bear creatures and a manipulative side chick to worry about, after all. It’ll take extra Christmas cheer for Ivy to bring comfort and joy back to her best friend amid the tragedies and paranormal threats this year.
Join in the festivities at Reindeer Creek! And help the families at the Harris house divine what’s reality, who’s a foe, and how to thwart the evil side of a spiritual war.

Excerpt:
She clearly heard the click of the coat closet door as Harry finished depositing Professor Thackery’s outerwear and listened for their footsteps to join them. John would have a fit if he could see this. Each one of us lined up here at the window, exactly where he told me not to have us. Of course, John hadn’t indicated he was prone to fits of anger when his orders were balked. He rolled with the punches nicely. He’d probably smirk at her with that way too sexy mouth.
Enough of that thinking.
The snowman-gnome worker had made it half-way up the ladder and stopped. Because her attention was focused on Mr. Heggs, his plastic-looking hair, and the diminutive chainsaw he now fired up with a whine-and-whir, she lost track of his partner. Would that fellow try to approach the front door next? Try to breach the stronghold?
She wanted to move everyone to an interior room. “Maybe we should all—”
Lexie shrieked as a blur of gray wintery mix slammed into the worker outside. Both ladder and chunky gnome crashed over in a fast-motion slam to the ground.
Snow exploded along the footprint of the falling ladder. And as stark red sprayed up from the chainsaw’s grinding whir-and-scream against bone and metal, Ivy grabbed Lexie and spun her away from the gore. She buried the child’s face in her shoulder, away from the horrifying thrashing that ended long before the crimson shower.
My Review:
Silver Bells is a great read, filled with many twists and turns that keep the pages turning. Silver Bells has a lot to offer. It is filled with mystery and suspense that is sure to keep you entertained for a few hours. Silver Bells is an eerie, sort of scary Christmas story.
Ivy Light is on her way to her friend’s house. Upon her arrival at her friend’s house, Ivy discovers there is more to the little town of Reindeer Creek than meets the eye. There may be monsters involved. Very unique monsters/paranormal creatures. Ivy is determined to keep her friends safe with the help of her friend's security detail.
Ivy’s journey to figuring out what is going in Reindeer Creek is very entertaining and will have you glued to your seat from beginning to end. The descriptions are well-written making it easy to follow Ivy on her journey. I felt as if I was a part of Ivy’s world. I could see everything I was reading play out in my head as if I were a witness to everything that was going on.
I highly recommend Silver Bells to all paranormal fans. Check out Silver Bells today by grabbing a copy and joining Ivy on her adventures of trying to save Christmas for her friends!
