Starlight Inn by Annee Jones captured my imagination and attention from the moment I began reading it. On her way to Chicago on Christmas Eve, Hope Garland finds herself caught up in a dangerous snow storm. She believes she is alright, but in reality she is rushed to hospital and is in her coma.

However, she believes she came through the wreck with no problems. Making her way off the highway, she finds a diner. In the diner, she finds herself needing lodging for the night. One of the owners of the diner refers her to Starlight Inn, which proves to be an incredible place to spend Christmas Eve.

The characters she encounters in the inn captured my imagination. Finding herself in the most incredible place to spend Christmas, she and the other guests find themselves eating cookies and drinking cocoa along with stringing popcorn,, and more. I found myself unable to put this book down. She finds herself falling in love with a stranger she meets at the inn. But in reality, she wakes up and finds the stranger is her doctor.

My only regret about this story comes from the fact the story ended. I wanted to read more about Annee and the doctor. So if you enjoy Christmas stories filled with magical times, wonderful people, and finding your true calling, check out this book for yourself.

What a sweet, charming and uplifting Christmas tale!

As I was reading I could almost feel myself in the quaint, snow-covered town where Hope is left in a lurch during a blizzard. I could easily picture myself stranded and having a great time at the Starlight Inn. Both the hosts and the other guests were enchanting. The novella had a wonderfully touching finish that made me happy for Hope, her family and her new friend.

I had never read anything by Annee Jones before, but I dare say this won't be my last time. I truly enjoyed how she was able to take a brief story and make you feel as though you had gotten to know the characters well. I found it to be truly impressive for such a short tale.

I love reading Christmas stories year round and this one is especially fun to read. It gave me a warm feeling of security, love and family as I felt like I was a visitor at the Starlight Inn. How fun it would be to stay there and enjoy the holidays with the people. Fresh snow made a beautiful picture as Holly looked outside. You can feel joy in the air as Christmas Day was here. She was feeling better about being here even though she missed her family.

I liked how the author delivers a sweet story that reminds us what Christmas is really about. Spending time with friends and family while reading about the birth of Christ brings happiness to everyone. Yes I cried at times reading the story. I’m not a big fan of holidays but this book made me smile and cry at the same time. The author shocked me with the ending and I have to say I loved it.
