My review: 

I started reading this book with big expectations, because the blurb says all the yummy things about it; santa horror romance! And written by Sara Dobie Bauer? Count me in! 

So when I got the feeling that I *know* this story, I was confused. I felt that I already read this story and know how will it end. So I started thinking... and searching in my reading - and found it! This story was released earlier in the Tainted Tales Anthology (my review is here ). And when I read that Anthology in March, this story was the one I loved the most! So now, I feel robbed. I wanted to read something new, but I already read this...

I loved the story. It was dark and twisted. Heartbreaking and warm. A Christmas miracle with magic. 

A love story which is cute at the beginning and unhealthy later, but at the end, it's the best you can dream about. 

If I had known that it's not a new story, I'd be happier. But really, when I first read it, it was everything. Now... now it was nothing new. But still an awesome dark story.
