Quick synopsis:
When Mary meets Bright (pauses, so you can catch it), it’s not on the best of terms, but it seems that they are stuck with each other for the holidays. It just so happens that Bright is attractive, available, and has a pulse. While Mary, the CEO of Tinselvania’s top export company, is SINGLE all the way as well. Smells like romance might be in the air, along with something…coppery? Hopefully Mary will make it through the holidays with her heart intact, as well as everything else.
This was a blitzkrieg of dark humor jammed into the perfect horror comedy that lays the jokes and references on thicker than an ugly Xmas sweater but jabs in the blood/gore where you want it most. Also, that ending is the big present that you save for last hoping its the best & it delivers the kind of gory, over the top, violent end that we all wished for. Sturdy enough to be read year round. I highly recommend this one if you like your humor with a side of horror and enough references to choke all 9 reindeer. Hopefully you will eat it up just like I did.
