Reader Reviews:
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (4/4 people found this helpful)
'THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS' is a holiday themed short story collection featuring some of today's hottest chick-lit authors such as Lori Foster and Erin McCarthy. Despite the promising theme and the highly praised contributing authors I found many of the stories in 'THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS' to be predictable at best. Not only did almost every story follow the same formula but there was little to no relation to the Christmas holiday in any of them. To my surprise, however, the two stand out stories in the book were by two authors that I knew very little about Jill Shalvis and Kylie Adams. Shalvis's 'MS. HUMBUG' (my favorite) and Adams' 'THE GOOD GIRLS GUIDE TO A VERY BAD CHRISTMAS' were the only two stories that strayed from the formula and delivered something that will leave readers wishing that they were full length novels.
If you are looking for a book to get you into the holiday spirit this is probably not it, however if you want a book full of steamy sex scenes and unbelievable & sappy endings than this is the book for you. For great holiday themed collections try 'THIS CHRISTMAS' or 'SCENES FROM A HOLIDAY' but do pick up a couple of books by Shalvis and Adams as these two authors certainly shined in this mediocre novel.
