A fun, quick read perfect for the Halloween season! This is a YA fantasy inspired by Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, following the events after the movie. 

It could be repetitive and cheesy at times. Also based on the synopsis it’s not at all what I was expecting but it was still entertaining. I enjoyed the first half better than the second half! It’s definitely one of those “I said I liked it, I didn’t say it was good” type books 😂 you can turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride but it’s not some incredibly written masterpiece.

If you’re a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and don’t mind cheesy writing then I’d recommend it!
