BEST BOOK I'VE READ THIS YEAR.
Haydée is a gifted author whose storytelling ability captures the attention of readers of all ages. An enticing read built on in-depth world building with descriptions that transport readers into Eve's universe. When reading this book, I was so immersed that I forgot about the world around me. The character development is compelling and I found myself attached to the characters. The secondary characters are just as fascinating as the primary ones. The entire book was engaging and none of the details felt like filler or were superfluous. The ending of the book left me curious about the future of Eve and her friends, and wanting follow up novels. This book is the best that I have read this year. Growing up, I used to read a couple of books per week just for fun. But since college graduation, I haven't been able to read since I spent so much time in college reading textbooks. But this book was so amazing that it got me out of my slump and I'm now an avid reader once again. It re-sparked my interest in one of my favorite pastimes. I can't wait to see what else Haydée writes.

FINE FANTASY FUN!
Very quick read if you settle down to read it, best done with some hot chocolate or peppermint tea, and an enjoyable read at that! Full of reimagined Christmas lore it tells the story of the heirs of Santa and their brave companions on a journey to save Santa and the Yuletide season as a whole from the evil Krampus. A good read for young adults or adults looking for a themed fantasy novel! There's a handful of grammatical errors, including one passage where every sentence starts with 'As' even when they don't need to, but self-publishers don't have access to high-cost editors available through traditional publishing and I'm sure as the sequels come out these errors will get ironed out better. Even still, it doesn't effect the reading experience, which is a good time throughout! All in all, two thumbs up!

BEST YA I'VE READ IN YEARS.
Eve & The City of Yule is the best Young Adult Book that I’ve read in a while. This book is a world of its own. It takes you away from Earth. You become immersed in the world of Eve! I don’t want to spoil the book for anyone, BUT you are in for a ride full of adventure!! Once you pick this book up, you won’t be able to put it down! I love how we get to witness the character development of every character. You get to witness their journey. This book you can read anytime, but if you are searching for a book that centers around the holidays, this book is PERFECT!!!

REFRESHING TAKE BACK TO FICTION.
As a long time fiction reader it began to feel like I was falling out of love with the genre. However A.C. does an excellent job with creativity in this title. The world and characters are well developed and you can tell she truly put love into their creation. Highly recommend for any of you winter peril lovers out there!
