Loved the premise of this one, wasn’t anything extraordinary but was definitely worth a read! Fast action packed read with slasher B movie vibes!

A fast paced holiday alien slasher.

Despite being very juvenile in its writing style, this was a fun little read. I wanted more info on our Alien friend, as our human characters were lacking and hard to care about.

This was such an eerie Christmas horror story. I absolutely loved it! It reminds of Stranger Things and The Mist.

This was a fast paced read with decent tension but it could have been a lot better. All of the POVs felt the same to me (even the dog!) and nothing really surprising happens. The writing style is pretty simple and uninteresting and there were a few obvious errors (misspelled or missing words).

“All of his internal organs were simply gone, except for the intestines. They had been set aside, neatly coiled up like they were extra computer cables.”

okay so this was the only christmas horror i could find at short notice (available on kindle unlimited) but uhhh, not a fan of this one! the writing felt a little juvenile, like a teenager had written it (and i don’t mean it in a YA way, but it genuinely reminds me of how i used to write when i was 15 lol). it was very creative, but also very tell but no show. it was, however, appropriately gross and descriptive at times and i appreciated that 🙏🏼

the visitor’s POV was so cool, but i’m actually unsure why this was so hyped on bookstagram. it’s fast-paced and fun, but the characters are just eh (the only two of substance - that i liked - were killed off straight up?) and it almost feels like a Predator fanfic? i’m super into Predator, so i did like this aspect of it!

i didn’t hate this novella! i just didn’t love it!
