This holiday monster romance is everything I needed to read this holiday season! It has the perfect combination of cozy and creepy vibes to keep your twisted little minds enraptured. It is a second chance romance of sorts as the characters were previously holiday season flings. It has LGBTQIA+ representation with a relationship that is between a woman and a nonbinary person. (I hope I am using the right terms. Please respectfully correct me if I'm not.) Personally, I'm a sucker for the forced proximity trope being snowed in together has to be one of my favorite microtropes! I also really loved the story behind the curse and the duskwalker like attributes of the monster but make it creepier. The detail used throughout was perfection, and I'm looking forward to what Aveda releases next already.

My heat rating is based on the amount of occurrence, length of scenes, and how filthy/unconventional the scenes are. I think this rates a steady 3/5
