The book was a quick easy horror read. Not actually scary but if you like the darker idea of Christmas, this could be a good read for you. FYI the last story used the G slur for the Romani people.

This is why I don’t read men. This was such a weird and disturbing book. The illustrations were wonderful but the story was obviously men writing women. It was disturbing and completely unsettling. Yikes.

This was such a fun read. The author did a great job at making you love the characters and really want to see it all work out. There were many twists and turns that were fun to read. The entire book was a fast paced, action packed read that kept me wanting to know what happened. The narrator was fantastic and I loved the various voices that Lynenette R. Freeman did. The narrator really made the book. I definitely recommend this book!

I really wish there weren’t so many HP references but this was written before the author showed their true colors. The book itself was good. The characters were fun to read about but I never felt invested in the book.

If you love the Sing-Along Blog you will love this short little prequel. It is a quick, fast paced read that will bring any Dr Horrible fan some joy. It’s not a sequel but it still a lot of fun.

This was a cute read with a few issues. I hated the fact that there were a couple “this is going to go to my hips” comments. I just don’t see why those comments needed to be in there. I also hated the fact that the author chose to say that listening to an audiobook is not reading. That just didn’t sit well with me and came off ableist.
Outside of those things, the story was cute. It could be a christmas movie. The characters were good though they fell a little flat to me. The plot was cute though.

The writing was bad. The book had various issues. At one point it even changed from first person POV to third person.
