Omg this was amazing!
Ever since I finished the last book in the series, I've been hoping for a novella like this, featuring all the couples. 🤩
I can't even begin to describe how much I laughed and how much fun I had reading this.
I truly need more stories set in this universe! 🛐

Idk what I expected but I didn’t anticipate their traditional holiday games to last the whole entire book. The ending was kinda random and I guess it would’ve made more sense if that was part of the main plot and added to the story more.
I expected a cozy story with all the couples POV’s, more wholesome family time rather then the chaotic siblings. Honestly I kinda got the ick with some of the immaturity and just wanted this over with.
Drea and Alexander, how cute! IYKYK. I did love seeing my favourite couples again, Arturo and Illyana, Nik and Tati 🥹 their twins! 🥲 What Autumn did for the fam was hella cute.
In future i’d really love to see more from this family, perhaps some actual relevant drama rather then the family games that felt dragged out.

Cackling my entire way through this book. I missed the Volkov siblings and this novella was a brilliant way to go back to their world 🖤

What was that ending!!! Please tell me we’re getting another book 🙏🙏🙏

I am absolutely OBSESSED with this novella! And considering I'm not normally a huge fan of novellas, that really says something! I cannot even explain how happy I was to be back in this world with all these characters again. I honestly love this family so much, and T.J. Maguire has reminded me exactly why this series has such a special place in my heart!
One thing I absolutely love about this author's writing is how she manages to completely destroy me emotionally one minute and have me laughing out loud the next! Seriously, how does she do it?! The banter, the constant bickering between the siblings and the ridiculous lengths they'll go to just to get one over on each other had me in stitches. And don't even get me started on their Christmas celebrations! I absolutely loved how competitive this family gets over their games. There is clearly no such thing as a friendly competition in this household! They're all so determined to win that they're perfectly happy to take out their own siblings if that's what it takes. Honestly, the chaos was brilliant!
But underneath all the hilarious moments, there was so much love and emotion too. The scenes where the family were remembering their mum while celebrating Christmas were absolutely heartbreaking, and I loved that even amongst all the laughter and madness, her memory was still such an important part of their celebrations. It was such a beautiful reminder of how close this family is and everything they've been through together.
I also adored getting to see all the couples again and just how strong their love for each other still is. There's something so lovely about seeing characters you've become completely attached to getting to enjoy their happiness, especially knowing everything they've been through to get there.
I honestly couldn't have asked for a better return to this world! It had everything I love about the series: the chaos, the hilarious sibling banter, the beautiful relationships and those emotional moments that catch you completely off guard. I loved every single minute of it, and now all I want to do is go right back to the beginning and reread the entire series again!

Lukyan smiled, all dark and twisted and utterly psychotic, his hand disappearing to palm the g*n at his back. “You chose the wrong house, motherf**k*r.”
The queen strikes again!! 🖤👑
When I tell you I was running to download this to read...I got it, read it and loved it!! This was obviously going to be a five/six star read before I even started. All my notes literally have laughing emojis from start to finish.
I miss them already, my second family, in all their crazy, chaotic, violent and loving nature 😭🥹
“My, my, my, Arty. Didn’t take you as the taunting type.”
“What can I say, Luky? You’re starting to rub off on me.”
I'd pay big money to see this book be turned into one of those Christmas hallmark movies... Who wouldn't want to watch the "Volkov Family Games" live on their screens, eh? ❣️
Can we give it up for the best refereee ever!! Mikhail really came and slayed 😂😂
Also no fair...I really wanna see that ending. Preferably in ✨4K✨ For research purposes only, of course 😌😈
To TJ Maguire, can we have some more? Pretty please and thank yew 🫴😶🌫️🫶
📝My fave note from Kindle:
"Weak? no
Rich? hell yes
Assholes? also no (only to each other 🤭 haha)
Easy-f**king-pickings? you wish"

Amaziiiiiiiing 😍😍😍
I loved the whole serie about Volkov family and this short novella about them is a book I didn’t know I needed😊 this family is violent, chaotic and so funny and they always put each other first with vibe thouch them and ☠️😆 All of them spend their christmas together and they have this yearly competition and it was soooooo funny I was laughing most od the time. Also there was one chapter with Autumn which was beautifully heartbrekaing, but so on point. I loved it. The ending had my jaw dropped. This situation at the end os not resolved, but you know how it ended for sure. Epic short 5⭐️read. Amazing!!!!!

If I could give more than 5⭐️ I would. This was AMAZING, I laughed so much at the mayhem the Volkov family brings 😂😂😂. As always this family takes it to the next level with their dinamic, their banter, mayhem and competitiveness. The Christmas games in this family are something else and OMG I laughed so much.
This novella doesn’t have a hit of spice and to be honest I didn’t need it it was perfect the way it was.
I highly recommend to read this only if you have read the whole series to can understand their dinamic and relationship.
Thank you T.J Maguire that you gave us more of them and I really really wish and pray we get more in the future may be second generation 🙏🙏🙏

Mikhail is an instant 10/10 for the role he played in this one
I didnt want it to end but with this chaotic family I never do.

October 30, 2026Auto read author
Everytime I hear that this author has a book out it is an automatic read for me. The bravta series has had me in a chokehold since book one and this novella does not change that.
What a fun book filled eith the usual family drama but instead of fighting the outside world this story shows how their bonds are reinforced as siblings who would go to hell and back for each other.
Funny, quick paced and easy to read as usual.

I didn’t realise just how much I missed these characters until I was reading this. TJ Maguire releasing this as a surprise drop was just the cherry on top.
This had all the bits we love about the Bratva series rolled into one novella. The chaotic sibling dynamics, the couples that set the standard, and the heartwarming & endearing moments that make our eyes well up.
I need to reread this series now because I need more of the Volkov family.

This was an amazing time from start to finish, I was gutted when I finished the bratva series as I loved all the characters so I was so excited when she announced this and it didn’t disappoint! I didn’t want it to end, I really wish we got more of that scene at the end but I’m being greedy, 5⭐️ no notes

It was fun revisiting this series in this novella. It was the whole family on Christmas taking part in a family a series of games in order to win a trophy.
As you can imagine with a mafia family it was complete carnage, lots of fighting and some sore losers.
I found this a fun read and laughed a lot.

The Volkov Family is back!!❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love this short holiday novella! Getting to see more of this crazy family dynamic was so special. The Bratva series is one of my favorite series and I’m glad we got to see where the characters are now. I wish there was a whole new book with all of them. Hope to get more novellas on this crazy family.

Thank you T J for blessing us with another Volkov book. I ate it up and left no crumbs. I had not picked up my kindle in a few days (hate reading slumps) but once I seen your post I immediately ran to grab it and download it. The Volkovs can always fix a reading slump 😅

LOVED this!!!
I love this series so much and getting to be back with these characters was EVERYTHING!!! I was grinning the entire time and FLEW through it!! I only wish it would have kept going because I wasn't ready to say goodbye yet.

If TJ writes it i'm reading it. I devoured this book within a short amount of time. I needed my Volkov fix and this book gave that and more although i was left reeling at the end cause i really wanted the last fight scene. Highly recommend one of my favourite Mafia series

Best Christmas EVER
This may have been the most incredible book of the series, which means this was a present TO the readers as much as it was for the characters. Is it too much to hope for another one, so we know what happens next?!

I missed them too
Are we gonna find out the end results on the men breaking into the house, well I mean I know who ended up dead, but more like all the action in it and maybe Drea telling the others about her being pregnant. We need more of them, so much.

I was laughing. Out loud. I love the Volkov family dynamic. Even though they are brutal with each other - but they stick to their true nature. But when some tries to h4arm them - all h3ll breaks lose.
5 ⭐ read! And it is going to be reread of the whole series. I just miss them that much 😁
