Review: Jingle Bats by Athena Steller 4 of 5 stars

Jingle Bats: A PAHL Christmas Special










Jingle Bats: A PAHL Christmas Special by Athena Steller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The PAHL triplets — Aries, Nix, and Gem — take a short break from their whirlwind first season of professional paranormal hockey to celebrate Christmas with their partners and friends. Amid the festivities, Aries gets the chance to fully embrace his little side with the support of Vin, Nix finally experiences Evan’s dragon form, and Gem finds himself intrigued by a mysterious new texter. It’s only a few days between games, but the brothers make the most of the holiday magic, deepening relationships, strengthening bonds, and sharing a cosy, chaotic, love‑filled Christmas together.

I loved this novella with the triplets and their partners. Their party piece was just adorable! I loved that this was a warm, joyful pause between games, giving Aries, Nix, Gem, and their partners a chance to breathe, reconnect, and celebrate the season together. What makes it shine is how it blends festive fun with the deeper emotional threads that run through the series. Aries gets space to explore his little side in a way that feels safe, supported, and genuinely tender, with Vin offering the kind of steady, grounding care that lets him relax into himself. Nix and Evan bring their own brand of magic — quite literally — as Nix finally gets to see Evan’s dragon form, a moment that beautifully reinforces trust and intimacy. And then there’s Gem, whose mysterious texter adds a spark of anticipation and the promise of new beginnings. Underneath the holiday lights and sibling chaos, the story celebrates found family, acceptance, and the comfort of being fully seen by the people who matter. It’s a sweet, heartwarming interlude that deepens the bonds between characters while delivering all the charm, humour, and paranormal hockey energy fans love. A delightful seasonal treat for anyone invested in the PAHL world. This was an MM story with mature content and BDSM-like dynamics.

** Please note - this festive novella is a companion to Nix: PAHL Book 2 and is best enjoyed after reading Aries and Nix.
