Santa’s
daughter Holly has a lovesick Jack Frost after her, but she has eyes only for
the werewolf engineer, Furio. Unfortunately, Furio hasn’t made a single move
toward her. In fact, in the two years since she’s known him, she hasn’t been
able to get him to talk about himself at all. When Santa invites Jack to dinner
and tells Holly to be nice to him, so that they have snow for Christmas, Holly
resigns herself to a grabby hands meal. She had no idea the results that dinner
would have.
This
is such a short read that there’s not much time to do any building of world or
characters. It is an interesting little look into Santa’s world though. Jack
Frost is a prick, Furio is surly and Holly seems a bit one-track, but there’s
enough here for an enjoyable read in bite-size form. The idea of Elementals
intrigues me and I would love to see this world expanded.
That's why I usually avoid short stories- there's always something missing. How to create a great story in only 22 pages :/
ReplyDeleteI actually don't mind short stories especially for new-to-me authors. Even ones that don't do much building because I can get an idea of the author's style and see if I'm interested in reading more. :)
DeleteLOL well that sounds like an interesting little one. I love those quirky off the wall Christmas reads :D
ReplyDeleteIt is and me, too. If it's still free grab it. :)
