Klappentext

Santa knows when you've been bad or good. And he doesn't care, so do what you want.

A lich is any creature that become immortal by magical means. Old Kris Kringle figured it out a long time ago. It takes sacrifice.

And this year, he wants to sacrifice Leery.

Leery thought the holiday season would be filled with eggnog, parties, and maybe even a certain succubus standing under mistletoe. But it seems Santa has him on the naughty list for certain thoughts he had about a certain succubus standing under the mistletoe...

Will Dru and Leery spend Christmas Eve together or will they have to Slay Fell Things?

**Critical Acclaim for CLAW & WARDER:**
????? "[T]he 'other world' is swarming with their own problems to keep their side under control in New York. I'm no stranger to Erik Henry Vick's universe as I'm a fan of The Bloodletter Saga. Vick's intriguing, ghoulish, fast-paced plot and solid characterization are as entertaining as I expected. There are ample thrills, chills, and fun to satisfy readers' appetites. The dialogue and prose generate the entertaining moments and the degree of tension best suited to launch the next twist...yet more proof of Erik Henry Vick's storytelling expertise in the supernatural world."--Lit Amri, Readers' Favorite Reviews
????? "I enjoyed the amalgamation of so many types of supernaturals... The banter between the characters was brilliantly executed, portraying different levels of complex relationships. Sometimes I couldn't help but grin at a well-spun conversation, let alone how the creatures' unique traits or weaknesses are evoked to further the investigation. I enjoyed the third-person narrative and how the high-pressure roles were portrayed... The characters were brilliantly portrayed."--K.J. Simmill, Readers' Favorite Reviews
????? "The idea that there are two simultaneous types of society working side-by-side was a fascinating premise... The characters are fully overdrawn, as is the nature in this genre, and author Erik Henry Vick has done a fantastic job of giving them real and recognizable emotions and foibles that endear them to the reader... The writing style is flowing and easy to read. If urban fantasy is your thing, this is a book you must read but even if it's not, this is a book you should read. I did and I'm glad of it - an excellent read."--Grant Leishman, Readers' Favorite Reviews
