Review: Under the Mistletoe Novella Collection

Thank you Amazon Stories for my copy! All thoughts are my own.

One thing I LOVE in December? FESTIVE NOVELLAS! November and December get really, really busy. I feel discouraged if I’m reading slow or not finishing books. One way to avoid that feeling is to fill my TBR with novellas. There is nothing wrong with enjoying them and if you don’t want to read a full length festive or holiday book, a novella is a great option for a little bit of cheer! These entire collection is available on Kindle Unlimited.

Cruel Winter with You by Ali Hazelwood

Ali Hazelwood is always going to write something entertaining and special. This was no exception! I really enjoyed it. I loved the snowed in trope and that even in a short amount of time, the characters were able to create a level of emotional depth.

Merry Ever After by Tessa Bailey

Tessa Bailey is hit or miss for me. When she hits, she HITS. But when she misses, she misses. This was a miss for me. Sometimes her writing is just a little too cheesy for me and I feel like it’s been veering towards the unbelievable more and more recently.

All By My Elf by Olivia Dade

This was cute! I haven’t read a ton from this author but I still found it festive and fun. I always forget how fun the forced proximity trope can be and it always feels elevated in a holiday book. It’s also quite spicy if you’re looking for something quick and fun!

Merriment and Mayhem by Alexandria Bellefleur

This definitely was my favorite! I loved the stakes, the setting, and the hot firefighter. It also felt very realistic and grounded in reality, while still being fun, festive and flirty.

Only Santas in the Building by Alexis Daria

I loved this one SO much. I am obsessed with Alexis Daria and any time there’s an NYC neighbor romance, I am hooked. I loved the Christmas party setting and gentle gestures. I’d read a whole novel of this couple.
