Morgan DeLangue, the eldest sister of the witchy DeLangue sisters, finds herself accidentally entangled with Krampus, thanks to a Christmas sex spell gone wrong.
When Morgan invites her sisters over a few days before Christmas, she assumed there’d be shenanigans—she just didn’t expect them to amount to anything of consequence. But after far too many Christmas Mules, a bellowing, drunken chorus in the woods, and a random list of ingredients, they deemed their sex spell complete. What they didn’t expect was for it to actually work.
As Christmas miracles would have it, Krampus appears the next evening after Morgan’s sisters have departed—and worse, he can’t leave until they fulfill all the requirements of the spell. With time ticking until Christmas Eve, Morgan gives into the spell and her darker desires—ones only Krampus can fulfill.
In this spicy, monster, holiday romance novella, Morgan and Krampus must navigate the intricacies of her magical spell while giving into each other. The closer they become, the more they realize that meeting only once a year might not be enough.
Grab your cozy blankets, hoodies, and a drink of your choice (might I suggest a DeLangue Mule?), and get ready for a naughty Christmas experience.

Fabulously witchy, deliciously spicy, and unexpectedly heart warming, Naughty, Nice, and Krampus Spice is a must for your holiday TBR!
I absolutely gobbled up this short, sweet, and spicy holiday novella in a single day. Like what do you mean a sister spell gone wrong (right) leads to the most fun holiday monster romance I’ve ever read? For a spicy novella, there was the perfect balance of plot to spice and romance. The world and magic was fleshed out well and really made this a perfect bingeable read! I loved the characters (the sister interactions were chefs kiss), especially because it was dual POV and we got to experience the events play from both love interests. This was genuinely so much fun to read! Highly recommend!
Naughty, Nice, and Krampus Spice by Maxym M. Martineau is a steamy little bit of monster spice for your holiday TBRs! Especially if you love that Practical Magic vibe.
I’ve raved previously (many times) about Maxym’s House of Blight — one of my top reads of 2025 and one of my favorite FMCs of all time. When I saw that she was doing a spicy little holiday novella, I JUST HAD HAVE IT. And a monster romance?? With KRAMPUS?!
I mean, how do you make Krampus a sexy, swoony MMC? I had to find out.
AND BOY DID I. 🥵
Maxym totally pulled it off and I will never look at Krampus the same way again. I will blush every single time, without fail. Let’s just say… he has a very talented 👅 with magical properties. 👀 I’ve never thought about having a Christmas fling with Krampus; never once would that ever have crossed my mind. But, you can hardly blame the witches in this book for being so very over human men. I GET IT. Maybe we all need a KRAMPUS.
This novella is about 150 pages of spicy fun, sisterly love (and shenanigans only sisters can have), with a cozy bit of heart, and a touch of that beauty and the beast vibe. Perfectly sized to slot into your holiday reading lists for some spicy cheer!
Thank you so much to Maxym M. Martineau for sending me this naughty little e-arc! 😘
