Quinn's Christmas Wish

Bandit Creek, Book 7

By: Lawna Mackie

Narrated by: Carolyn Eve

As far as 12-year old Quinn is concerned, Christmas has lost its magic. Since his father’s death, life has lost its sparkle. His mom is now a widow struggling to put food on the table. Quinn is no help, and the mysterious illness afflicting him only makes things worse. Even Christmas, complete with decorated trees, ribbons, and bows, has no meaning.... Then along comes Jazira.

Jazira doesn’t know what happened to her former self, the 11-year old little girl. She drowned, didn’t she, along with half the other folk of Bandit Creek in 1911? Somehow, she’s grown four furry legs complimented with a large wolf head and body. Scared and alone, she reaches out to Quinn and a strong bond is formed. Jazira learns Quinn, and his mother, are threatened by a wealthy powerful citizen of Bandit Creek. She is determined to protect her new family, no matter what.

Christmas Eve finds Quinn staring up at the adorned tree and muttering a quiet prayer. Will the Spirits of Christmas grant his wish, or will the evil surrounding Bandit Creek prevail once again?

Excellent story

I'm not a fan of audio books. They usually just put me to sleep. And coming from someone who stays awake till 3 am reading is saying something. But this story captured my attention from the start. It had everything romance, humor, mystery, and of course animals and compasion. The author did an excellent job of pulling you in, creating characters you understood and got involved with. Highly recommend it.
