A Vampire’s Christmas Carol (Novella)
by
Cynthia Eden
Blurb:
This holiday season has bite.Ben Prescott hates Christmas—he’s a vampire, and to him, there’s certainly nothing jolly about the holiday season. While the humans are running around being merry, he’s hunting in the shadows. Ben plans to spend the holidays his way…by stalking deadly prey.
But fate has other plans for Ben.
Three visitors are coming Ben’s way…A demon who will force Ben to face his past, a ghost who will show Ben the present he could have, and a shifter who will reveal the darkness that waits in Ben’s future. Unless Ben can change his ways, he may just turn into a real monster, one who can’t be saved by anyone or anything.
‘Tis the season…to be undead.
Ben’s redemption rests in the hands of the one woman he loved and lost—Simone Laurent. If Ben is going to have a chance at being more than just the beast in the darkness, he has to prove himself to the lovely Simone. A very hard task, considering that, once upon a Christmas Eve, Simone died in Ben’s arms…
Warning:
This book features one very tortured vampire, a sexy ghost from his past, and hot scenes designed to melt the winter snow. Plenty of action, adult situations, and steamy times are ahead. Happy holidays!

A Vampire’s Favorite Holiday Songs
(Thank you so much to Got Fiction? for having me over today!)
We all have our favorite holiday tunes. By the end of November, you’ll always catch me humming along to Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer…
There are just some songs that put you in the holiday mood! 😉
But, if you were a vampire (like the hero of my new release, A VAMPIRE’S CHRISTMAS CAROL), what would you like to sing as the holidays crept closer? Hmmm…perhaps you wouldn’t want to sing at all. Perhaps you’d just growl at all the happy humans. That sounds like a good option for a vamp.
I gathered up this list of songs that I thought paranormal heroes and heroines might enjoy…
Silent Night (Cause, you know, a vamp would’ve slayed all his enemies and the night has to be silent.)
The Twelve Days of Christmas (But the lyrics would probably be a bit different…a little more like…On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a strangely shaped vampire hickey…)
All I Want for Christmas Is You (And, specifically, a bite of you…)
Do You Hear What I Hear? (Because no one can hear like a vamp.)
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree (Trust me, vamps know how to rock.)
But these are the faves for the paranormals…what is your favorite holiday song? Share! I’d love to know which songs you enjoy–or which songs you think a vamp might enjoy.
Happy holidays!

I would have to say my favorite Christmas song is Carol of the Bells. I’ve always been fond of the song after singing it in my high school choir.
Enjoyed the blog and I’m very much looking forward to reading A Vampire’s Christmas Carol!
Thank you for the giveaway chance. I plan on reading this book, it sounds very interesting.
I love “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” It is sad sounding for me…very melancholy.

I have not read. But reading the synopsis, I was very interested in reading.
I love supernatural stories, even if vampires.
I have read this book it was awesome a nice spin to a Christmas carol. One of my favorite songs is blue Christmas BT Elvis and rockin around the Christmas tree. 🙂
Song list is great. My fav is Silent Night. Can’t wait to read the new novella. The excerpts are great.
My favorite Christmas song is “Santa Claus is coming to town.” I am still a kid at heart! I have not read it yet, but it is on my Amazon wish list!
I have two Girlscout troops and every year we go caroling at a senior living community by us. Having the girls sing “white Christmas” for those wonderful people always makes my day!

Sorry, I haven’t read it yet.
I can’t wait to read A Vampire’s Christmas Carol! I have yet to read a book of Cynthia Eden’s that I haven’t loved!
No, I haven’t read A Vampire’s Christmas Carol yet. I probably will read it given a chance, seeing that I am urban fantasy geek. But am on a book buying ban now so that might have to wait 🙂
All I Want for Christmas…Mariah Carey…and all the other songs on her Christmas CD.
I would love to read this book
“Carol of the Bells” or “O Holy Night” for me!
