Santa is dead. The sleigh is silent and the magic of the Holidays is slipping through Mournton’s crooked streets. Now, the town’s final flicker of hope rests in the hands of Neo and her secret boyfriend, Nox. To save Creepmas, they must stitch holiday warmth into the eerie bones of Halloween Town—string holly through spider silk, teach skeletons to sing carols in haunting harmony and mend enchanted toys that hold the town’s fading joy. Every ornament they hang is a ward against the creeping cold that threatens to swallow Mournton’s wonder.
But something sinister stirs beneath the snow and not all gifts are given freely. Can Neo and Nox revive the spirit of Creepmas, before Mournton loses its winter magic forever?
I’m not one to read Christmas books often but add in some Halloween and you got me!
Eva was able to draw me in very easily with Neo and Nox during Bewitched, and even more so in this story, Creepmas. I absolutely LOVED the horror elements mixed with the holiday spirit. With an in depth plot, some very interesting uses of candy canes, and unexpected spider play, I was even more impressed.
You will want to read book 1 before jumping in to this one, but you can still gather enough information to just read this holiday novella if you’d like! There is even a short review of book 1 in the beginning in case you forgot or just need a refresher! I love that in books.
I truly loved the descriptions of the weather and some of the places in the story; Eva puts you there whether you want it or not. You see everything, you feel everything, you hear everything.
Oh and the cliffhanger? WHAT THE HELLY
Overall, 4 ⭐️, 3 🌶️!
Thank you so much to Eva and team for allowing me to read an advanced copy of Creepmas!
Arc review If Bewitched was sweet and dark, Creepmas is even better! Neo is even more down to earth and pragmatic, while Nox is more in love with Neo than ever. She is sexy and mysterious, he has "touch her and d!e" vibe and their love story being forbidden is even more enticing than anything!
By a curious turn of events, after finding out that Santa is dead, Nox has to "play" father Christmas and save Creepmas for Mournton. To quote from the book: "our crew marches into Mournton-a witch, a vampire, an elf and a once decapitated snowman-ready to turn gloom into glitter with a side of dread." And so, it begins a crazy ride to deliver presents to every child and run for their lives, because, why not?
This book is so funny! The banter and the chemistry between Neo and Nox is delightful and we even get to see a glimpse of something blooming between Zilla and Zeke(Neo and Nox's friends).
We have action, we have gloom, we have glitter and a lot of spice. This book is perfect for dark souls that want a bit of cheer before Cristmas, without all the Hallmark glitter.
Thank you, Eva Rebiuh for this gem, it was so delicious! Just perfect for Creepmas!🖤
Christmas mixed with Halloween, merry and cheerful mixed with spooky and dark vibes. All this elements are described very well in this book.
The story is funny, intense, dangerous and full of love and magic. I had a great time reading this. I loved all the funny and dark comments of the characters. My favorite part, except for the love relationship of course, was the idea that every child deserves a present on Christmas, even if they are naughty or nice, alive or not.
The main characters have great chemistry in this book, they're love and devotion for each other is tangible. I love how protective they are and how they always take care of each other.
Nox is very protective of Neo and he shows his love for her all the time, with words and facts at the same time. I loved how he helped her with her fear of spiders and how he is always there for her no matter what.
I love this series and these characters and I am looking forward to the continuation of their story.
Another fun, quick, and spicy read from Eva. Just like the first book it gave me 90’s early 2000 disney movie vibes. But then added with spice. I love the connection Nox and Neo have. And I the banter with the new characters is so funny.
As a spooky girl myself who loves Christmas, this was the perfect mix of both worlds. It's like Halloween town meets The Santa Clause. Neo and Nox once again have sizzling chemistry, bringing plenty of heart with plenty of spice. The story telling is immersive and I found myself chuckling at moments with the snowman and the bickering between Nox and Ice. I enjoy Eva's writing style and the design of the book is amazing. I cant wait to see where their story goes.
Another great story by Eva Rebiuh!!! If you like romance and fantasy and spice, you’ve gotta add this to your holiday tbr. Truly the perfect blend of cozy, cute, festive, and spice! I also just love Neo and Nox and loved getting to hear more of their story!
❄️💀 𝕮𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖕𝖒𝖆𝖘 💀❄️ • Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spice: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 • Creepmas is a fun, spooky holiday read that delivers creepy Christmas vibes in an action packed novella. This is the second book in the Hexes and Fangs Holiday series, and just like Bewitched, the hijinks run awry. Nox’s constant sass kept me laughing throughout the book and added lighthearted moments in between the bigger events. I love how connected to Neo he is, it sweetens his tough exterior and deepens the relationship with Neo. Neo’s Creepmas spirit really captured the heart of the story, Hex was a favorite (obviously), and Nox with the headless snowman and his 'don't touch me' moods will always be a favorite of mine. The candy cane scene?! You'll have to find out for yourself. All of these elements helped me lean fully into the twisted holiday fun and spice. Mournton is the perfect setting to feel playful and eerie at the same time. • While I liked that it was mysterious and unpredictable, the ending felt a little rushed and a little too easy in comparison to the intensity of the earlier fight scenes and creates a bit of disconnect for me. I also wasn’t a fan of the spider in the coffin, and Ice just had that weird vibe from the start. Overall, this book kept me guessing and engaged due to the mysterious and suspicious elements and now I'm off to cliffhanger hell. Thank you, Eva, my love, for trusting me once again to review your second book in this series. I'm truly grateful to be a part of the Hexes & Fangs Street Team and Nox & Neo will always have a special place in my heart. 🩵❄️✨
This was a fun read! I really liked the Nightmare Before Christmas vibes that came with this story. Everything was festive with a twist that mixed my personal 2 favorite holidays together. I also really love vampires and enjoy how many different takes on how they become vampires and this book had a new way that I've never heard of before. It doesn't talk about it extensively, but I still enjoyed a new take. I love how protective Nox is of Neo and I love that how much he wants to, and does take care of her. On the flip side, I totally love that Neo is a BAMF and is not afraid to bitch slap an elf. The end of this story took me by surprise with a twist and a cliffhanger, both of which I did not see coming.
I've finished reading 'Creepmas' written by Eva Rebiuh. This book is the second instalment in the 'Hexes and Fangs' series and the books are dark romance holiday novellas.
"So no one is haunted? Because mixing Halloween vibes with Christmas ones is already weird enough."
I loved Bewitched and I love Creepmas just as much, if not more. I just absolutely adore the combination between naughty and nice, and spooky elements combined with Christmas holiday joy. The dark elements alternated with humor is really great!
"Okay, that's festive. In a 'we might die but at least it's themed' kind of way."
This story, like Bewitched, is about Nox and Neo. Nox is ac vampire and Neo is a witch. Their love story is a dream story combined with all the great dark elements. They are cheeky and strong, and they will make sure nobody will ever hurt the other. Also.. they are freakishly hot and their chemistry? Wow! Combine this with holiday magic and you have the perfect formula.
"HE'S NOT JUST A TOAD, you snowy piece of... tree ornament."
This story is about forbidden love, about strength, protectiveness, friendship, loyalty, darkness, magic, cheekiness and so much more. The details used are insane, making you almost literally see what happens. Once you start reading, you wont be able to stop, it's just such an easy and fun read, I love it!
"You walk like you're chasing ghosts. Let me haunt you a little."
Eva's writing style is unbelievably poetic and it just fits her stories. Her descriptions are really strong and it brings the story alive. The characters are also written so vividly, that it feels like I know them. It made me feel with them and root for them. It's just a great and magical story and I'm giving it five deserving stars.
Diving back into the world of Neo and Nox but with a Christmas twist was genius! I absolutely adore these characters and the story is truly brilliant, I can never look at a candy cane again.
I love the growing bond between these two and I really enjoy the small snippets we get into their lives with these novella. I am counting down the days until their full novel is released but until then I'll happily read about small parts of their lives and see how they grow together, pushing each other and helping each other overcome fears.
its a heartwarming romance wrapped up in a spooky girls fantasy ✨️
This was an arc read and wow! I loved it! Neo and Nox are some of my fav characters. I love their chemistry, the banter, and the spice is off the charts! I loved the Halloween mixed with Christmas and it was very atmospheric. The writing style is very easy to get sucked in and binge! I can’t wait to see what else this series has in store! ❤️🌶️🔥
Talk about a cliff hanger ending 😭 This was such a fantastically spooky Creepmas story, I want to live in this place forever 🖤 The fact that our bat boy had to assist with Santa tasks is just the most amusing thing 😆 This is book two in the holiday series, and I CANNOT WAIT to read what happens next.
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

An elf, a vampire and a witch join together to become Santa’s dysfunctional crew…. What could go wrong?
5⭐️ and all the 🌶️🌶️🌶️ A delightful continuation (book 2) in the Bewitched series that follows our beloved brooding vampire Nox and his sassy and sexy witch Neo. The book picks up right after the first book and of course leaves the reader wanting more at the very end. You get to experience the deepening of the love that Nox and Neo share plus get to revisit a couple side characters from the first book.
This book gave me Nightmare Before Christmas vibes and I loved every moment. The interwoven components of Christmas and Halloween makes me wish I could live in this book.
I love how the author describes and paints such a vivid picture with every scene. She is sure to inspire each of your senses with her imagery and details.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be an arc reader and part of your street team!
If you enjoyed Nightmare Before Christmas growing up and want those vibes in a spicy novella. Then look no further!!!
Neo & Now have been called to help save Creepmas in their town, Mournton. With an elf to help them get things in order before time runs out they set off to keep the Christmas vibes going in their spooky town. What do you get when spooky meets Christmas? Maybe bat marshmallows? Spider web cotton candy? Oh! What about reindeers skeletons to pull the sleigh?! GENUIS!
But that ending?!?! You can’t leave me like that Eva!!
If you’re curious to see if they succeed, I highly recommend picking up this book on release day!
Thank Eva for my eARC copy 🫶🏼 I’m so stoked to see more of this sexy pair.
If you’re looking for a cute christmas novella with a hint of spooky since you’re missing halloween look no further!
This definitely gives nightmare before christmas vibes without it being a retelling and while you might be able to read this on its own I highly recommend reading bewitched first!
We pick up with Nox and Neo who have been informed by an elf that santa is ☠️ and they are currently seeking a last minute replacement. They somehow have decided that Nox would make a great santa.
This is full of magic, melted snowman and even a Krampus. This does end on a cliffhanger and the next book is coning next year. But this was a cute spooky christmas that I loved every second of and I will say it is spicier than the last one if you’re into it 🖤✨
I can’t wait to get more Nox and Neo
Things you can expect:
🎄 Holiday Rom Com 🎃 Forbidden Love 🎄They’re Saving Christmas 🎃 Melted Snowman 🎄Krampus Attacks 🎃 Santa is ☠️ 🎄They’re on the naughty list 🎃 Elves 🎄Holiday Magic 🎃 Spooky Christmas Treats
🎃 „Creepmas” este o poveste care aduce la viață magia iernii într-un mod total neașteptat: o combinație între vrăji, sarcasm, pasiune și haos festiv. Neo, o vrăjitoare cu o inimă mare și un spirit rebel, și Nox, vampirul misterios și ironic, se trezesc implicați într-o aventură de sezon care scapă rapid de sub control. După ce Moş Crăciun dispare, cei doi pornesc într-o misiune nebună de a salva Crăciunul, sau mai bine zis, Creepmasul, transformând o sărbătoare pierdută într-una cu suflet, umor și multă magie întunecată.
🎄 Unul dintre cele mai fermecătoare momente ale poveștii este călătoria lor cu trenul către Christmas Town, o scenă plină de umor, cu un conductor-om de zăpadă, un elf isteric și o vibrație de basm stricat care m-a făcut să zâmbesc constant. Totul este scris cu acel amestec inconfundabil de mister și ironie, iar detaliile sunt atât de vii încât aproape simți frigul zăpezii și parfumul de scorțișoară amestecat cu magie. Un alt moment care mi-a rămas în minte este reconstrucția omului de zăpadă, scena în care Neo, Nox și elful reușesc, printre glume și haos, să dea viață unei creaturi magice, transformând o greșeală într-un moment de tandrețe și speranță.
🎃 Personajele sunt o explozie de carismă. Neo e sarcastică, puternică și profund umană în felul ei vrăjitoresc, iar Nox e acel amestec irezistibil de întuneric și loialitate care te face să-l adori. Împreună, formează un duo cu chimie electrică și o conexiune emoțională care se simte în fiecare scenă. Chiar și personajele secundare, de la elfi la Krampus, aduc o doză de umor și culoare care completează perfect universul creat de Eva.
🎄 „Creepmas” este al doilea ARC al autoarei pe care am avut ocazia să-l citesc și pot spune sincer că mă simt onorată să fac parte din echipa ei. Stilul Evei e unic – îmbină perfect umorul, dark romance-ul și fiorul gotic al sărbătorilor. Nox și Neo mi-au devenit incredibil de dragi, iar după această aventură plină de magie, pasiune și haos festiv, abia aștept să văd ce urmează pentru ei în viitor. 🎄🖤

Quotes: “I already chose you, and I’ll keep choosing you.” “What’s the point of a holiday if you don’t have a hot guy delivering your gifts?”
Well… it looks like Neo and Nox are a crazy, seductive addition to any holiday celebration. This story was dark, fun, and somehow threw me straight back into rich Christmas traditions from at least twenty years ago - all the rituals, details, and atmosphere, just… add fangs, masks, and some amount of spice.
If this is your first time meeting Neo and Nox, enjoy the ride, but make sure to go back to book one to see how it all started.
And after this book I’m not sure I’ll ever look at (or eat) candy canes the same way again... Ever…
While the core of the story is dark and sexy, that big bat boy has a surprisingly beautiful heart. The way he loves? That has to be experienced. His devotion knows no boundaries.
After finishing this book, I caught myself thinking ahead to the next holiday… Easter. And then immediately wondering how Nox would look in an Easter bunny costume 😄
The only thing that didn’t fully work for me was the ending. I won’t spoil anything, but I wasn’t quite sure how to read it - was it a cliffhanger, or an open ending meant for imagination? I’m hoping at least part of that will be answered in the next book.
Either way, as creepy and dark as it is, Creepmas has become part of my Christmas vibe.

Huge thanks to the author Eva Rebiuh for the chance to read Creepmas (Hexes and Fangs: Holiday editions #2). This is my honest review of the ARC.
This is the first Christmas story I’ve ever read that feels like it carries the spirit of Halloween??? And I liked it. It’s such a unique twist that makes Creepmas stand out from the flood of holiday novellas this year. So if you’re looking for a Christmas tale that’s not only spicy but also deliciously eerie, this is the one for you!
The book continues the story of Nox and Neo, the characters who completely captivated me in "Bewitched". Their relationship here grows even deeper, more intense, and more passionate.
Eva Rebiuh’s writing style is surely unmistakable: poetic, soulful, and instantly recognizable. It gives the story a rhythm that makes it both enchanting and memorable.
I’d recommend Creepmas to anyone craving something different this holiday season something like a non-traditional romance with a dash of darkness. Nox and Neo even end up saving Christmas in their town, which adds a fun twist to the mix. With a good plot and steamy scenes, this book strikes the perfect balance.
Recommended for readers who want their Christmas stories with a little heat, a little fright, and a lot of heart and hot vampires and witches.
For my girlies who love Christmas but also love Halloween, this book is for you!
Neo and Nox are back and it’s up to them to save Christmas.
This book gave everything, will have you laughing and loving, and blushing!!
Eva did it again and I can’t wait to see what she gives us next! Her writing is so good and she pulls you into this world right along with the characters! The plot is there and keeps you turning pages.
This was the best spooky Christmas book I think I’ve ever read. I had no idea how @author.evareb was going to put our spooky favourite witch and vampire duo into a Christmas book…but god did she do a great job! I loved every aspect, the spider scene, the monologue at the end of chapter 21 🥺 and a cliffhanger that left me furious 😂 only because now I need the next book. X if you are looking for something festive, but don’t want to let go of fall/autumn then YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!
This was a fast paced and spicy novella. Neo and Nox continue to run amok, but this time it's so that they can save Creepmas since Santa is dead. Nox continues to be perfect. The elf was.. something and the snowman was hilarious to me. They should just leave him melted somewhere warm. Overall, I was getting serious Nightmare Before Christmas vibes but definitely spicier. I loved it. It was also actually kinda cozy despite the spooky undertones and inappropriate uses of spiders and candy canes. The ending though was wild and I am just.. not ok.
