The Mistletoe Mixtape 

Review Written By

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Jenny Bromham, Marianne Calver, Blaithin O’Reilly Murphy, Karl King, Cici Maxwell, Hayley-Jennifer Brennan, Donna Gowland, S.L. Robinson, Sarah Shard, Joe Burkett, Helen Hawkins, Michelle Harris and Rachel’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


Ohh it is not even Halloween yet but thanks to these 12 talented authors that wrote The Mistletoe Mixtape Anthology it feels a little more like Christmas. I was so scared that by reading this book that it would jinx the bad WNY weather but luckily it is still in the upper 60’s. For the record I may love Christmas movies, music, books and family time but I HATE the snow and cold!! 


Sarah Shard did an exquisite job on the cover for the book! I love how festive it looked with the Mixtape logo on it as well. It definitely caught my attention. 


This Anthology is dedicated to all those out there over the world who love Christmas!


I absolutely loved the name of this anthology for many reasons. Growing up in the 80’s who didn’t remember making mixtapes of their own collection of their favorite music. You would always get a little bit of everything! Well this same concept is true for this book! You have 12 very talented authors that share their short stories with you. They will make you smile, pull on your heart strings, and most of all make you believe in Christmas! 


This is the second anthology in The Mistletoe Mixtape Christmas Collective. I had not had the honor to read the first one. However, I did learn some extremely interesting facts on how these two books came to be! 


In between each story there are cute little pictures that will make you smile ear to ear. Whoever did the graphics is so talented. 


All 12 short stories were good but for me I personally connected with 5 of them. Each of these 5 put a smile on my face, pulled on my heart strings, made me tear up, and could relate to the characters. These stories kept my interest from start to end and most of the time wanting more. These stories were Jenny Bromham’s A Winter’s Tale, Marianne Calver’s White Christmas, Blaithin O’Reilly Murphy Sausage Rolls for Everyone, Sarah Shard’s Stay Another Day, and Helen Hawkins Santa Baby.
