A Vampire Christmas by Cassandra LawsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Novella length Christmas story featuring vampire Drew and the rest of his family.
As Drew's own childhood (including Christmas) was more of a nightmare than the normal picture of idyllic he is determined to give his daughter only the happiest holiday memories. However, he has hit a few snags into his carefully made plans for her to have the perfect Christmas. By using a little Santa stalking and some family help surely everything is going to work out in the end?
I loved this short story which was exactly as if we had popped in to see how things were for Drew after a few years and proved that as much as he can try, nothing in his life is likely to ever be what we could consider as normal. I loved the way the family came together to make sure that there were Christmas surprises for everyone even if it appeared to be out of character for the way they used to be (and so showed some real development in each of them as well as their relationship with their family and/or partner). I loved the ending and the twists and turns in the story which certainly delivered on a few surprises. Well written and very enjoyable. My one slight criticism is that it made me think of all the parts of the stories around the series that I really wanted to know more about.
