I needed a change and that's what I got!
It turned out to be a nice and easy read that also perfectly fit in with my strange sense of humour. The title was the first thing that drew me to this book, it wasn't to be your typical happy holiday novel at all. But I also loved the fact that it also wasn't a normal horror book either, it was different and I found it was really an enjoyable read.
I did feel that it dragged a bit at the beginning. I was waiting on the buckets of blood which took a few chapters to get to. It does however give you more background on the characters so you can understand better how they behave once things start getting strange.
The characters themselves are to be a blended family and are spending time together for their first Christmas and getting to know each other. What's a better way to get to know one another than being stranded with mythical killer elves?
Even with the bloody title and some disturbing things described it is also very comical as well and found myself still laughing throughout. It also certainly brings to prospective how some disastrous holidays certainly could be a lot worse.
Glad to have read it definitely just what I needed.
