As I have come to expect from Alice Winters, A Villain For Christmas was full of laughs, some cringe worthy moments and a cute romance. My favourite thing about the book was that there were many sweet, comfort moments too, which I don't usually find in her books. Landon and August were adorable and though I hate furless cats, Balzac in supersuit sounded adorable.

This is exactly what I expected from an Alice Winters book—juvenile (yet hilarious) banter and lovable characters. Did it feel eerily similar to her other books?—Yes. Did I still enjoy it?—Yes.

I wanted to love this book because I adore Alice Winter's hitman series.
The characters didn't click for me as I had hoped, the chemistry wasn't there.
I mean don't get me wrong, Landon who just wants to stay in and read was completely relatable but I couldn't love our "good guy" August.
The idea of the villain family made me laugh at times but the story just didn't flow and seemed to drag at times.

Listen, I loved this, but...Landon became

Spoiler

Leland (Hitman's Guide series) halfway through the story, all the way down to the same vocabulary and expressions. Valerie turned out to have Jackson's Mom Ava's attitude. And August is somewhat Jackson, except a happier, less grumpy version.

So while I did love the story and world, the character similarities took me out. I'd have preferred they remained their own unique characters.
