And Neil Millett, running neck and neck with Seb for crankiest character, makes a couple of guest appearances (I am anxiously awaiting Neil's set of stories. I loved the glimpses into the lives Sebastian and Calvin build for themselves amid the chaos and flutter of the mysteries Sebastian inevitably gets drawn into. Poe does a great job of setting the timing (for instance, after 'The Mystery of Nevermore,' the first book in the series) and POV. This collection of stories gives us glimpses of life 'between the mysteries' of the four book series, as well as not only Sebastian's point of view (which the four novels are told from), but some from Calvin's POV as well. The characters are wonderful and fully realized, and the mysteries are top notch. I have the books in all formats: Kindle, paperback, and audio. I will admit right up front that I love the Snow & Winter series. Since it's Volume 1, can we dare hope that there will be a Vol 2, and 3 and 4 after maybe another dozen or more books in the series? Poe for this little treasure chest that allows us to be the 'fly on the wall'. This little 157-page delight is a fantastic gift for all fans of these two sweet guys. We see them search frantically for a new apartment.we follow them on the dream vacation that Calvin plans as a surprise for Sebastian.we watch Calvin search the walls of the new apartment for the 'person' that he's sure is living there.just the everyday lives of our two favorite people as they fall more in love with one another.

Sebestian and Calvin have been married about 2 years when these insights take place. It's funny, it's warm, it's just what we fans needed while waiting and hoping that there is going to be another book in this series. It takes up where the book length tales leave off letting us glimpse briefly into what the two have been up to between the full length books. antique emporium owner and amateur sleuth, Sebastian Snow and his now husband, NYPD Detective Calvin Winters, will love this little offering.
