Unholy Night: A Dark Christmas Novella
He’s wearing a Santa suit.
He’s carrying a grudge.
And this Christmas, he’s collecting what he was promised.
Meredith Frost built Frost Plaza into an empire of glass, steel, and control. She doesn’t do cheer. She doesn’t do distractions. And she definitely doesn’t do the too-tall Santa in her display who watches her like he already owns her.
But Nick isn’t playing Santa.
Not really.
Because Meredith isn’t just the cold, sharp-tongued boss everyone fears. To Nick, she’s Sugarplum, the girl from his past. The only light in a childhood they were never supposed to survive. The one who swore they’d have a safe place someday, just them.
Meredith forgot.
Nick didn’t.
A snow globe. A familiar nickname. A presence that won’t go away. What starts as a helping hand from a Hot Santa turns into something darker—something that follows her out of Frost Plaza and into the night.
And when Nick takes her to a secluded cabin deep in the woods, Meredith learns the
He wasn’t flirting. He was claiming.
Because Nick isn’t asking, he’s taking her home.
All he wants for Christmas is Meredith Frost. And if he can’t have her… no one will.

She built walls. He brought rope. And he’s not leaving alone.
Meredith built an empire from steel, silence, and control. She doesn't celebrate. She doesn't look back. And she definitely doesn’t notice the too-intense Santa watching her from across Frost Plaza like he already owns her. But he does. Because long before she was Meredith, she was Sugarplum, and she made a promise she doesn’t remember.
Nick has waited ten years. Watching. Planning. A snow globe is the first crack. A quiet Christmas night is the opening. When he finally moves, it's not a question. It’s a claim. He’s not here to play games. He’s here to bring her home.
What starts as fear shifts into something far more intimate. Memories rise. Boundaries blur. The girl who once protected a scared boy now faces the man who never let her go. He wants her trust. Her surrender. Her heart. But Meredith isn’t easy to break, and love forged in the dark comes with its own price.
Meredith begins guarded and sharp-edged, but survival forces her to adapt and confront the past she buried. Nick moves from shadowed obsession to fierce devotion, determined to reclaim the one person who ever made him feel safe. Together, they unravel and reshape each other, building a bond from trauma, control, and a dangerous kind of desire.
A dark, steamy, high-heat stalker romance with forced proximity, captor and captive tension, a possessive morally gray hero, and a snowed-in holiday backdrop. It’s about how shared trauma twists connection, how love becomes obsession, and how the line between protector and captor disappears when the past refuses to stay buried.
The Elevator Pitch: A dark, seductive holiday romance where obsession simmers beneath the snow. A ruthless executive is stolen away by the man who’s been waiting a decade to make her his. Twisted, intimate, and charged with heat, it's a descent into love that binds as tightly as it burns.

This was a fun short story. Little bits or dramatic back story along with drama and spice... not to mention a sprinkling of something like love. It has an open ending so maybe there will be a part two? Hmm... If you enjoy a quick fun read this is it.

It was ok but none of the events seemed intelligent. The parts about the cabin and the house were confusing. I got the gist of what happened but there wasn’t enough exposition to clarify.
Who was the one using the cabin? The foster dad?
Did she go to the cabin when she left foster care because they gave nick the same reason that she always heard about the victims?
How does a foster kid with nothing manage to go to college and change identities so fully?
Who was it calling her sugar plum in the flash backs? The foster dad? Why is nick calling her that now?
And the ending was abrupt and didn’t feel finished.
Also, the chemistry was there so why did he even kidnap her like that and cover her head? She knows where the cabin is.
Poor girl being kidnapped by someone so stupid he thinks she would rather give up her career and live in a crappy cabin in the middle of nowhere than her nice home. That didn’t make any sense either.
Just….what?

My favorite quotes:
"Excuse you. Die Hard is the ultimate Christmas movie and I will die on that hill."
"I don't want you afraid of me," he says. A bitter laught tries to claw its way up. I swallow it down because it burns. "That ship left the dock," I whisper. "It waved at you on the way out."
"You're killing me," I groan into her neck. "You know that?" Her nails scrape down my shoulders, sending sparks through my nerves. "You stole me," she breathes, the words almost a challenge. "You don't get to complain now."
Merry Christmas to me.

This creepy little Christmas novella might have you eyeing the Santa at your local mall with a whole new level of suspicion. At first glance, appropriately named Meredith Frost seems as cold and unyielding as ice. Despite Frost Plaza drowning in tinsel, lights, and forced holiday cheer, Meredith simply doesn’t do Christmas. She built her glittering empire through blood, sweat, and tears, and now glides through the holiday crowds like an ice queen, untouched by joy or sentimentality. But there’s good reason for Meredith’s impenetrable shield and the eager eyes watching her know exactly what that is. Nicholas, or Nick, knows Meredith far too well. He’s intimately tied to the past she’s worked so hard to bury, because he was right there beside her through it all. Even though the story makes Nick’s intentions clear early on, it does nothing to dull the suspense. If anything, the anticipation only tightens as you wait for the inevitable to unfold. What really makes Nick fascinating is his moral ambiguity. He teeters between obsessive devotion and simmering resentment, torn between loving Meredith and despising her for leaving him behind. That internal conflict adds depth to his character, but don’t be fooled into expecting mercy. When Nick finally sets his plan in motion, it certainly doesn’t give you the warm and fuzzies. And just to twist the knife further, he forces Meredith back to where it all began. I loved the tantalizing glimpses of their shared past revealed through flashbacks, though I couldn’t help wishing they’d been explored more fully. Those moments hint at something dark and twisted that begs for deeper excavation. Meredith herself is an intriguing figure, though her surprisingly quick acceptance of her “kidnapping” raised a few eyebrows. Ultimately, the novella length feels like both a strength and a limitation. While the pacing is tight and effective, it skims over details that could have made the darkness sharper and the emotional bond between Nick and Meredith more visceral. The ending also feels deliberately open-ended—possibly teasing a sequel—but it left me wondering where these characters could (or should) go from here.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unholy Night by Natalie Grace
This novella understood the assignment. Unholy Night is dark, twisted, and perfectly unhinged in a way that makes it impossible to put down. Short, sharp, and addictive, it delivers maximum impact without wasting a single page.
The Christmas setting is used so well. The contrast between festive cheer and creeping dread adds an extra layer of tension that makes everything feel wrong in the best way. It’s moody, unsettling, and dripping with atmosphere. Natalie Grace leans into the darkness and doesn’t pull her punches.
The characters are intense and morally questionable, and the chemistry is immediate and dangerous. There’s a constant edge to the story, like something is about to snap at any moment. For a novella, the emotional and thematic punch is impressive, and it never feels rushed or incomplete.
If you want a dark holiday read that’s spicy, sinister, and unapologetically bold, Unholy Night is a five star hit. Perfect for readers who like their Christmas stories with teeth.

This novella wastes no time pulling you into its shadow-drenched holiday atmosphere.
Unholy Night leans hard into forbidden desire and fully commits to its dark Christmas energy. The setting feels tense and intimate, with flickering lights and quiet moments that hum with danger. Natalie Grace creates a story that feels indulgent and unsettling in the best way. The chemistry is intense, unapologetic, and threaded with temptation that never pretends to be safe or wholesome. I loved how the story embraces morally gray longing and lets the tension do the heavy lifting without softening the edges.
As a novella, some emotional moments move quickly. A bit more room to linger inside the characters’ internal conflict would have added extra depth. That said, the pacing works for the story’s purpose. It’s designed to be consumed in one charged sitting, and it delivers exactly that.
Dark, fast, and deliciously twisted, this is a perfect holiday read for when you want something bold and unsettling instead of cozy. Ideal for readers who crave forbidden tension wrapped in a winter setting.
Content notes: Dark themes, morally gray characters, taboo elements, power imbalance

This novella absolutely whet my appetite for more—in every direction. Before, after, deeper, darker… I wanted everything. Meredith and Nicholas’s story, from surviving foster care to reuniting a decade later, is intense, sensual, obsessive, and emotionally charged in a way that feels far bigger than its short length. The flashbacks, devotion, and healing between them were beautifully done, and the darker themes hit hard despite the simpler spice. That said, the ending left me frustrated—in a want-more-now kind of way. It felt slightly rushed and a bit incomplete, especially with so much potential surrounding the cabin, their past, and how Meredith changed. Still, it flowed well, never felt chaotic, and kept me fully invested. I honestly wish this had been a full-length novel because the bones of something incredible are here. 3.5 stars.

it was a ok Christmas novella, if you're looking for a quick Christmas read I suppose, they were together in a foster home when they were younger, it was not a good place and there was this cabin that was right there but wasn't where they stayed, she was tough she protected him she kept him safe, one day she left but he decided he was going to take care of her one day fix it one day, so while she tried to overcome and basically forget about what had happened and everything attached to it he became obsessive and stalked her, my biggest problem with this is I feel like with just a few more pages you could have a little bit more of the after, I feel like it ended to abruptly and without a proper ending.

This was a great dark romance Christmas novella.
Meredith is a cold sharp tongued boss who doesn’t like Christmas, she has left her old life behind her and hidden it where no one can find it.
Nick is playing Santa for Christmas, but all he wants is Meredith for Christmas. The girl from his past who swore she’d keep him safe.
His obsession with her leads him to kidnapping her and taking her to the cabin in the woods they use to look out at from their foster home, to him the cabin is a symbol of a life they could share together, to Meredith the cabin is a symbol of something more sinister.
This novella was a page turner and would make for an interesting full novel.

This book takes Stockholm Syndrome as romance trope and totally runs with it. I typically like a dark romance with kidnapping tropes, but this one felt uncomfortable to me. It’s not that I don’t think these two may actually be perfect for each other, or that I think Nick is out of line with his actions, or even that he is a bit creepy (until he wasn’t). It’s that they were so turned on by violence and domination/submission because of their shared trauma. These two were only perfect for each other because of their shared experiences of abuse, and that was so sad!
I wanted to read their bonus chapter on my Kindle to help solidify my opinion that they are good now, but it wasn’t working (and I couldn’t find it online), which was a bummer!

🌶🌶
I really wanted to love this book because I found the concept intriguing, but it was not long enough to truly appreciate the plot. The idea of your stalker being the one who experienced the worst parts of your life was a nice tie-in, and I loved the Santa Land theme of it as well.
Her writing was good, and I would definitely read another book as I feel this book had a major opportunity to be a great story. The descriptions throughout the book provided good imagery, especially with the cabin-in-the-woods feel. Overall, I didn't rate it high, but this will not stop me from continuing to dive into her books.

Dark Vibes, Missed Potential
Unholy Night had an intriguing premise and delivered on some of the dark, sinful atmosphere I was hoping for. There were moments where the tension worked and the story showed real potential, especially in its mood and themes.
That said, the pacing felt uneven and the chemistry between the characters didn’t fully land for me. I wanted more depth and emotional payoff to really connect with their choices. Overall, it was an okay read—enjoyable in parts, but not quite as compelling or memorable as it could have been.

Unholy Night is a dark, deliciously sinful holiday romance that trades twinkling lights for obsession, temptation, and dangerous chemistry. Natalie Grace delivers magnetic, morally-gray characters and scorching tension that feels equal parts intoxicating and emotionally raw.
The push-and-pull, the possessive devotion, the heat simmering beneath every loaded glance — it all builds into a story that’s wicked, addictive, and impossible to put down. This isn’t a sweet Christmas romance… it’s a seductive one that bites.

This is a dark Christmas themed novella. It does come with a lot of trigger warnings. There is kidnapping. Meredith is a executive in charge of decorating the mall. Nick is posed as Santa. Nick and Meredith have a past that Meredith seems to have forgotten. Nick is determined to make Meredith remember and claim her as well. This is an indulgent and quick story. I do wish there was more of past explained and just more in general.

Meredith Frost does not celebrate Christmas, nor does she like it. She does not realize she is being watched by Santa Clause in her display, he is there to make her his for Christmas.
Nick is someone from Meredith's past, the only light in the darkness, they had sworn to find a safe place together. Nick never forgot but she did, and it time for her to remember. This is a dark romance with plenty of steam.

Perfect novella to help hit your reading goals. The story had a good flow to it. I did find that it seemed a tad rushed towards the end BUT it all made sense. It wasn't one of those rushed books that was all over the place. The only issue I had was it felt kind of incomplete. Overall, however, I enjoyed this quick read.

A Dark romance Christmas novella. Read it quickly. There is some spice and back story sprinkled in but wasn’t my favorite. Wasn’t naughty or dark enough. Felt stale like a whole lot of story missing and ended quickly. The characters didn’t give any reasons to care about them. I finished it because it was short but wouldn’t read again.

This is about Meredith and Nicholas. They survived a horrific childhood together for a time, and now Nick is determined to get her back. The story was engaging, but felt like an abrupt ending to me. It almost felt like I got half the story and need the second half to finish.

This is the quick and easy read following Nick and Meredith,two people with a past that only Nick remembers. But he's tired of waiting and it's time to help her remember they belong together. A little dark, a little dangerous, plenty of spice, and a HEA make this a great short dark novella.
