I'll start this review of The Mistletoe Inn with a little disclaimer. The only reason I purchased this book - and paid full price, I might add - was because the Hallmark movie of the same name was going to premiere on Thanksgiving Day. It stars one of my favorite actresses - Alicia Witt. I was a little concerned because, even though I made the purchase several weeks before Thanksgiving, I didn't actually start reading it until two days before Thanksgiving. However, that turned out not to be a problem. I eagerly tore through it in two days!

The first two books in this trilogy were pretty much thrillers - albeit good ones. This last one, however, brings in some of the spookiness that Mr. King has made a lot of money writing about. I didn't expect that AT ALL, but I was very pleased.
This second installment of the Bill Hodges Trilogy only loosely ties back to the first novel. However, it's still action-packed and worth the read!

I thought this to be very well written. It hooked me quickly, but then the action seemed to be sporadic in the middle.
