Hell yeah. Feels so good to read a book I'm genuinely excited about and don't want to put down. 

This is a fantastic follow up to Nightmare before Kissmas with a similar blend of silly goofy stuff and serious emotional and political drama. It was clear from the last book that there was a lot going on under the surface for Kris and it was very rewarding to peel all the covers back and then watch him untangle the knots of himself. 

The romance was spicy and intense, and I love how they were both artists and their different mediums (painting and writing) factored into the pivotal scenes of their growth. 

It was a real treat to see how far Coal has come as well since the last book. The relationship between the brothers is absolutely lovely.
