I don’t know what to say other than I really hated this book. I love horror and I love Christmas, and unsurprisingly I am a huge of the niche Christmas horror genre, but this just did not land for me. The only “scary” parts of the book involved the sexual assault of women and that desn’t sit right with me. Especially considering this book was written by a man. The writing lacked depth and I think many passages verged more towards problematic rather than disturbing. I dragged myself through the book out if spite and hope for some improvement (which never came). I genuinely don’t understand all the love for this book.
