I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Black and White Publishing and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

You're never too old to believe...
After losing her job, boyfriend and flat just a few weeks before Christmas, Ellie Lancaster makes some resolutions:
1. Exact revenge on ex.
2. Be unboring.
3. Find a job.
With 1 complete, Ellie manages to tick off 2 and 3 simultaneously by accepting a mysterious archiving job on a tiny Scottish Island that doesn't seem to exist on any map.
In the new year, her equally new bosses - celebrity baker Clementine Jones and her straight-laced twin brother Cole - introduce Ellie to the archives: a vast network of underground caverns, filled with scrolls dating back centuries, each addressed to the same person, in a multitude of languages: Dear Father Christmas...
My Opinion
This is such a magical read. Whilst the many focus is Christmas, the book can be read at any time of year as it isn't overly festive. The book gets off to such an intriguing start as Ellie starts a new job without any idea of what she will be doing. This is my first book by Ceri Houlbrook but based on this example it most certainly will not be my last.
Rating 4/5
