Villainess Ascending by Steven Grimm - 2 stars
Sort of a Cinderella retelling but Cinderalla is a major jerk. And I wasn't sure what I was supposed to think about the story over-all. They didn't care about what Cinderella had gone through at all to see things from her pov and why she might be that way (though that doesn't excuse her being a jerk). Are good girls just meant to be servants? It kept me engaged though.
He Sees You When You're Sleeping by Lissa Marie Redmond - 4.25 stars
Normally i'm protective of Krampus and he's just a bad guy in this story but it's hilarious and I really enjoyed it. Though the random romance was random.
Santa's Little Helper by Beth Mann - 5 stars
I love this version of Krampus!
The Business of Christmas by Anya J. Davis - 5 stars
A favorite! Such good messages too. This is how I like my Santa and Krampus.
Schadenfreude by E.J. Hagadorn - 1.5 stars
Meltdown and temper tantrums aren't the same thing and that's a temper tantrum. I do like this line though "Saint Nicholas. Shouldn't you be spying on little kids like the creep you are?" But I do not like this Krampus personally, though i'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little kick out the ending.
Family Tradition by S.E. Foley - 1.5 stars
TW: Fire (which is a trigger for me). I didn't like anything about this story but it's a me thing.
Krampus: The Summoning by Brad P. Christy - 5 stars
Oh I love this one!
The Outfit by Ross Baxter - 2 stars
I am confused. I mean I know what happened, but i'm confused on how I feel about it.
Family Night by Nancy Brewka-Clark - 3.5 stars
That was cute lol.
A Winter Scourge by Tamsin Showbrook - 3.5 stars
I enjoyed this story. Some stories I just don't have a lot to say about.
Bad Parents by E.M. Eastick - 2 stars
I was enjoying it until the very ending. Call me a bleeding heart then. I had more faith in them.
Memo From Santa by Jude Tulli - 3 stars
I think this one is calling out the consumerism of Christmas? Either way I was looking at the story like o.O the entire time I read it.
Over-all 3.19 and I did enjoy this. Even the stories I didn't like might give me inspiration for something.
