5 stars for A Kelly Society Christmas by @magicstarra #paranormal #krampus #holidayfiction #booklove



Title: A Kelly Society Christmas

Author: S.K. Andrews

Genre: Paranormal, Holiday Fiction


Book Blurb:


After killing a demon and saving the modern world, paranormal cleanser Vivien Kelly only has three days till Christmas. She scrambles to buy gifts, grocery shop for holiday feasts, and get a Christmas tree. She’s on track when suddenly, her young friend Josh calls the wrath of Krampus, the Christmas demon.


Can Vivien buy gifts, cook Christmas dinner, decorate the tree, and also save Josh before Krampus drags him to an eternal hell? Vivien must call upon the most frightening goddess of all for help—Hel, goddess of the underworld.



My Review:


Krampus claims Josh for his bad deed but can Vivien free him from Krampus’ clutches in time for Christmas? It’s three days before Christmas and Vivien must get all her shopping done. While shopping, she receives a vision of her friend, Josh, in trouble. Apparently, Josh has incurred the wrath of Krampus, the Christmas demon. When Vivien intervenes, Krampus turns his wrath on her. She has limited time to release her friend from what Krampus has in store for him or else he’ll be in a fiery torment forever. Can Vivien do the impossible this Christmas?


A Kelly Society Christmas is a fun, paranormal with a holiday twist. The blending of Krampus with getting ready for Christmas is expertly done. I connected with Vivien right away. Her running around getting ready for Christmas is relatable and honest. The introduction of the Krampus myth is well-conceived and believable. The plot moves at a quick pace with snappy dialogue, a tight cast of characters, intricate action scenes, and a setting perfectly described. While this is a novella, it is a complete story with a full plot arc. The descriptive narration captures the reader’s attention while the world-building allows the reader’s imagination to take off. Paranormal readers will love this holiday story. A fun twist on holiday reads, A Kelly Society Christmas is a must-read this holiday season or even anytime during the year. Highly recommend!

When S.K. Andrews wasn't swimming in the Pacific Ocean in her hometown of Laguna Beach, California, she busied herself by writing fantasy stories and acting on stage.

Also, being a fan of romance novels and non-fiction ghost stories, she decided to marry the two and write paranormal novels of suspense, adventure, and intrigue with a strong romantic foundation. The sense of adventure inside her came from summers of camping with her family in Mexico (Baja California) and walking along beaches with no other footprints but hers, as her family members unpacked the camper and got ready to collect clams right off the shoreline for dinner. After attaining a B.A. degree in Theatre from University of California, Irvine, and a Professional Acting Certificate from LACC Acting Academy, an idea sparked for interviewing actors to help student actors entering the theatre arena. Her non-fiction book The Pursuit of Acting; Working Actors Share Their Experience and Advice was published by Praeger Publishers.
