Shownotes

I skipped the cozy, feel‑good Christmas romance books this year and went straight for the unhinged, unholy, and totally unhinged ones instead 🎄💀 From murderous Santas to deeply questionable MMCs to… a certain horned holiday menace at the end, this was a chaotic festive reading experiment.

If you’re in your "I want vibes and bad decisions under the mistletoe" era, this one’s for you.
