Guin is perfectly happy with her own company and doesn’t want that disrupted by her wisecracking stepbrother and his earnest mum.

Can the family band together to survive the night? Or will Santa’s little helpers make mincemeat of them all?

But when every troll in the city is suddenly made homeless, fairy tale expert Dr Epiphany Alexander faces a task like no other. Can she keep the trolls and the public at a safe distance from each other? Can she fend off the advances of elderly gents who find her strangely irresistible? Most importantly, can she do any of these things without falling foul of the enchantments, tricks and traps that are part of any encounter with the folks of faerie?

Ella Hannaford has a small business to run, an overworked father to look after and a future stepmother who wants a perfect wedding. Can she avoid a girly night out with her clueless stepsister?
