No Jacks in this but this is mostly based on Donatella and Dante 💜 I adore them two anyway but Jacks is my favourite character so did miss reading about him in this. This is such a cute relaxing story the illustrations are gorgeous I couldn’t stop looking at them 😍 it was nice reading about the growth of their relationship with mysterious aspects made it more intriguing and fun to read. For a short story it was well developed and kept me very intrigued it is based on the Christmas season and ver ...more

honestly i dont really know how to feel about this book. dont get me wrong, it was great, but i feel like the writing was a little too much (which was probably the intention, since its a holiday novella) and it didnt sit right with me. the illustrations tho!!!!!! the whole book itself is BREATHTAKING. overall, it was great but not the best!!

Yeah, this was weird. I loved seeing Scarlett and Julian though.

Wtf?

El libro empezó bien y me gusta como siempre los unviersos que crea la autora, pero luego de la primera mitad decayó completamente para mí. La historia se centra en Tella y Legend (dos personajes que odio, y más su romance) y esto solo me recordó por qué es que ODIO a Legend. No se que se le pasó por la cabeza a la autora pero genera absolutamente todo lo contrario a pensar que son una buena pareja.
