First holiday book of the season. I enjoyed it. I was hooked from the first chapter. I felt an instant connection to the characters. The author kept me entertained throughout the entire book. This book was beautifully written. I will be reading more from this author.

A Crossbow Christmas by Ann Swann is a family drama set around Christmas in the aftermath of the pandemic.
Carina has struggled through so much loss that she finds herself feeling lonely trying to move on with her life. Her grown children have all moved on in life and her husband took a new job and seemingly forgot her. Carina is always taking care of others, and doesn't know what to do when there's nobody to take care of in her family.
Carina is reluctant, but takes up an opportunity to spend Christmas in a cabin in Colorado thanks to a friend from her support group. Carina has no idea it it's the right move or what will become of her Christmas, but this is her chance at healing and finding herself.

Carina is hopeful to have a traditional Christmas with her family after a tumultuous battle with COVID, but no one is interested or able to comply with her wishful plans. Her children are scattered across the country and her husband is forced to work for the holiday. The only person who is as enthusiastic about the Christmas season is a young man from her grief group. To make her Christmas dreams come true, the young man from her grief group offers up his family cabin in the mountains of Colorado. Carina isn't adventurous but could she really pass up this perfect opportunity?
Relatable, cozy and sure to put you in the holiday spirit. A Crossbow Christmas is a great read for Christmas time. Many readers can relate to the main character, Carina, and her journey to healing while living through the pandemic. Ann Swann does a great job in telling Carina's story while also bringing an element of adventure and whimsy. Carina is surrounded by a cast of other loveable characters who allow and enable her to grow throughout the story. The small town, mountain setting also sets the scene for this sweet Christmas story.
