Sugar and Ice
Kitten and Blonde, Book 1.5
by Eule Grey
Sugar, ice, and bumps in the night…
After a thrilling year of ghost-whispering, monster-chasing, and blogging for the Echo, Mave Kitten is keen to abandon her witchy hat for a well-earned break. Snowflakes are drifting in; the office is stuffed with fruit cake. How to win the pub karaoke without cheating (too much) is all that’s left to worry about.
Aside from fiddling the office’s debts and choosing a suitable karaoke costume, Lisa Blonde is also ready for the party season, not forgetting a crate of beer. As long as Mave’s happy, Lisa’s happy.
But best-laid plans can come unstuck for witches and their leather-clad familiars. The ghost of Jacky Frost blows in with the snow, demanding a playmate. How can Mave and Lisa say no to the dancing queen of ice? Even ghosts deserve a Christmas.
The playful ice queen goes viral, and the Echo unexpectedly gains hundreds of readers. Only a few gremlins remain: What of the Echo’s overdraft? Who’ll win the karaoke? Where’s Lisa’s motorcycle?
Kitten and Blonde: Holiday Baking Hijinks Mostly Paranormal. Sometimes alien. Always gentle.

I admit it – I’m officially a big Kitten and Blonde fan. This wintry adventure was even better than the last two! This would be the perfect book to get you into a cool holiday mood, but it’s still fun to read even with summery weather. I have to say this felt like a much more compelling story, I think partly because I’ve fallen in love with Maeve’s narrating style and partly because of how intrigued I was. Grey did an excellent job of drawing me back into their world, which kind of feels like a cozy, sapphic version of The X-Files crossed with Supernatural. If you enjoy fun, sapphic, paranormal adventures, winter themed fun, and are curious about the mysterious ice queen at the heart of it all, you’ll want to grab this!
