Khalie, an avid Krampus-ofile, finally has her chance to sing at a Christmas Caroling Competition. With her loser boyfriend dressed as Krampus and her ghost-hunting friends at her side, what could go wrong? Except, her friend's juvenile delinquent kid keeps running away and messing everything up for Khalie, and it looks like a forecast of snow might put a damper on things. It's going to take a little bit of magic and a strong belief in fairytales for Khalie to find her Happily Ever After.

A Christmas story set in the Pacific Northwest involving a Figgy Pudding Contest, specialty cookies, friends dressed in Victorian costumes, a ghost hunter, Santa, Krampus, and snow--what's not to love? An errant boyfriend is late as friends gather to participate in a caroling competition in Seattle. Someone shows up in said boyfriend's costume and everyone assumes that it is him, including girlfriend Khalie. As Khalie and Harry set out to locate their friend's missing son, all is not as it seems with Harry and Khalie soon learns of Harry's true identity. When the real Harry shows up and Khalie's friend starts flirting with him, jealousy flares and mayhem ensues as the time for the competition draws near. Singing is Khalie's big dream, but with all the chaos swirling around her, her dream starts to fade. Could the surprise of a new man in her life help Khalie believe in the magic of Christmas again? Read JD Douwes wonderful wintertime story and find out!

Having been a teacher in Germany some time ago, I was familiar with Krampus, but didn’t expect to find him in downtown Seattle at a Christmas sing-along! If you need a little change from the traditional Christmas romance, this is the story for you. Laugh out loud dialogue is well written and you’re never quite sure what twist is around the corner. You’ll enjoy your stroll through Seattle it Christmastime, even if you need to keep watch over your shoulder for Krampus (don’t worry… he’s not as bad as everyone says he is!)

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun holiday romp with a unique cast of characters!
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2021

The first thing to point out in this review is that the characters are compelling. When you think of a holiday romance, you don't think of a snarky carol singer dressed as a ghost, and you certainly don't think of Krampus as being a love interest. However, in this novella, it works. The plot is fun, the characters distinct, and the love story totally believable. Also, the book is hilarious. I would recommend this novella to anybody who wants a break and isn't afraid to try something both well-written and differently delightful.

Author really makes you feel like you are there. Writing style is unique and classic and keeps you drawn in. I dont read often anymore, but if i can find books as good as this, I will. This is a really good gift to buy for a christmas gift or secret santa... it's at a great price too, which makes it good to buy for multiple people, especially when you dont have a ton to spend and want to get them all something they will love. Highly reccomended. 10/10. Nothing to improve. Fanastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars HO-HO-HO Holiday Fun
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2021
Now this is anything but a harmonious caroling expedition, but these characters sure know how to show a reader a good time. It was so fun to join Khalie and her quirky group of friends on their way to the Figgy Pudding event and singing competition. They're all seasonally excited, and I am too as I read about their antics in this vibrant and witty story.

One of the friends, Dina has brought along her son Fred. He is a mischievous imp, and Dina is in denial about his pranks. That's when the action turns wild. Who shows up as the sparks fly? Krampus appears. Of course, that's the costume that Khalie's boyfriend Harry planned to wear for the caroling event. His furry appearance scares Fred who runs away. Krampus helps Santa by scaring the naughty.

The hunt for Fred begins, and reveals such a crazy adventure all over the holiday event. Everyone wants a taste of Khalie's delicious kolaches too, but she needs to deliver them to the event's bake sale intact. That turns out to be easier said than done. Along the way, Khalie notices some curious peculiarities about Harry in the Krampus costume. What has got into him? What indeed? It's very unnerving, but some changes are actually endearing. With all the crowds and commotion, will they find Fred? What naughtiness will he have instigated?

At the end of this rollicking chase, you'll have exercised your funny bone. The mystery of the Krampus will be revealed and it will warm your heart. This author has created a delightful holiday story filled with entertaining characters. A nice gift for the season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and funny Christmas adventure with a heaping side of snark
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2021
This was such a fun Christmas tale! I loved the appearance of the "real" Krampus in the middle of a Christmas carol competition. This is where I must admit that I didn't actually know anything about Krampus and so I even learned a thing or two. The MC delivers the perfect snarky seasoning to the whole adventure. Great fun!
