Synopsis (Goodreads):

Dylan Morrissey forgoes the Shifters’ traditional Yule celebration, to his family’s dismay. Instead, he joins Ben at the haunted house in New Orleans, planning to meet with potential, if dangerous, allies in the Shifters’ constant struggle for freedom.

But the sentient house has other ideas. Dylan wakes up—or rather doesn’t—unable to move or speak, and is taken on a journey to the past, present, and future.

Ben, Zander, and Tiger are his guides, but is what they are showing him truth?

Return to Shiftertown for a Shifters Unbound take on a classic Christmas tale!

Thoughts on A Shifter Christmas Carol: Throughout this series, Dylan has always been one of those larger-than-life characters who does anything necessary for the Shifters. He makes hard choices and puts himself in the line of fire more often than he probably should, but it's all for the betterment of the Shifters who have been collared and chained.

His single-minded focus toward freeing his people sometimes leaves those closest to him to feel the burden of his absences. In his eyes, missing one Yule celebration is a small price to pay if it means the Shifters will gain an ally in their fight.

Except things don't always work out the way they're planned and Dylan's journey could have far more dire consequences than he could ever imagine. In other words, a little magic and a little mayhem give Dylan a new appreciation for all he stands to lose in the long run.

I always adore seeing familiar faces pop up, so the Yule celebration was a treat. Having a chance to dip into Dylan's head? Also a treat. All in all, a quick, fun read that takes us into the heart of the Morrissey family and all the unabashed love they have for one another.
