  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I read all of Monsters and Mistletoe, but I have to admit that Salem Sinclair's Yuletide Nightmare, might just be my favorite. 


This is an anthology, so you will find stories from multiple authors. Before some stories, you get information about what will be reading, like tw/cn, etc. Which, I think should be the standard. 

Each author did a splendid job with their story, and I highly recommend not only reading this anthology but picking up their individual work as well. 

In Yuletide Nightmare, we find Yule and Mari Lwyd, who is a wassailing spirit. I had no idea that there was even such a thing. Let's just say, he can come wassailing my way any day. 

This story was spicy, had bits of BDSM, some praise kink, short king love, and a HEA, I did not see coming. 

5/5 stars
