Claws in the Mistletoe
(2026)(The second book in the Monsters of Moonfall Isle series)
A novel by Veronica Samek
A Monsters of Moonfall Isle Holiday Romance
Amazon Bestselling Author Veronica Samek invites you to Moonfall Isle, where Halloweentown whimsy meets Dream Harbor heat in a cozy and spicy monster romance.
Moonfall Isle is a sanctuary for non-violent monsters.
Hidden in the middle of Lake Huron and absent from every map. Amy’s lived on the island her entire life.
Amy tolerates Christmas the way she tolerates most things. Quietly. Without complaint. She smiles through the twinkle lights, survives the carols, and counts down the hours until the annual island party is over.
When the lights finally go dark, she buries herself in blankets and looks forward to three hundred and sixty four blissfully Christmas-free days. Instead, she wakes up to Christmas morning.
Again.
Every conversation. Every mishap. Every grating tradition repeats exactly as it did the day before. No one notices. No one remembers. And when Amy tries to explain, it is as if her friends can’t hear her explainations. The only thing that changes is the moment she is dragged into the snow and tied up by Krampus.
Yes. That Krampus.
The alpine beast who punishes the wicked has come to Moonfall Isle hunting a shapeshifter who has been slipping into homes disguised as Santa. And he believes Amy is his culprit.
She is part shapeshifter.
She is not his criminal.
After she convinces him that she can’t be the culprit he’s looking for, Krampus admits the truth. He is the one who trapped the island in an endless Christmas loop. Shapeshifter blood remains unaffected, and Amy is the only anomaly in his perfect repetition. He intended to observe the villagers until the imposter made a mistake and revealed themself.
Instead, Krampus found her.
Now Amy has no choice but to work with the furious, relentless beast who bound her island in holiday hell. To break the loop, she must help him uncover which of her friends the shapeshifter is hiding as.
Forced into close quarters. Bound by magic. Surrounded by mistletoe.
Because if they fail to catch the shapeshifter, Christmas will never end.
And Krampus is not known for mercy.
A cozy yet spicy holiday monster romance filled with time loops, forced proximity, sharp claws, and heat beneath the mistletoe.
