I will always be happy to read more of this family. This was funny and chaotic and perfect. The banter once again is top tier!

Ahhh this was so much fun!!

Super quick, chaotic, and so entertaining! I truly love this crazy, dysfunctional family so getting to see them all together for their annual Christmas games was such a treat.

The characters, the banter, the absolute CHAOS of these games?? I adored every second of it. This family is genuinely insane and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Also, lowkey, this made me hate Arturo even MORE. That man is such a dick for absolutely no reason and GODS he drives me insane

Overall, such a fun little novella! I loved getting more time with these characters and all their ridiculous antics. Truly such an entertaining read!

Side note. I did cry.

5/5

"I've never seen you pull that move before" Aleksandr grunted. There was something coating his words—an almost...sourness.
The Butcher smirked. "I taught you everything you know. Not everything I know."

As usual, this series will always be God Tier for me like reading this made me realise how much i missed reading about all the couples. I forgot how much these books crack me up so much.
Especially here:

Mikhail was in front of Dimitri, recording him, his phone up like a professional videographer, bending this way and that, trying to get a shot of him from every single angle. The vein in Dimitri's forehead was throbbing like mad.
"That's it, DeDe, just act natural. Give me a little chin and push your face forward. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Now give me tiger. Give me kitty cat. Give me "
Dimitri snapped. He hurled forward, Hula-Hoop still around his body, tackled Mikhail to the ground, and started laying into him.
"Ow! Ow! Fuck! Not the face, DeDe! Not the face! It's my moneymaker!"

I’m definitely gonna be doing a reread of this series soon gosh i missed it so much.
Aswell as delusion taking over me for believing there will be more books of the Volkovs’ especially after the end of this book’s event. (I need more of them)

Like its not even funny I love all the couples yet its all for different reasons.

I just adore this series sm.

I LOVED THIS NOVELLA!!!!
I love this series so much! I was SO happy when this came out. It was all of them at Christmas and they were so happy!!!
Each chapter was someone different and I loved it! This family is so chaotic and fun. And they had a Volkov family games they play every year for Christmas. It was SO FUN to read I loved it. And after reading the whole series I loved coming back to them and reading more fun and crazy things they do. And seeing each couple so happy and in love was amazing. I really hope there is more coming because this was so amazing to read! I totally recommend this whole series!! It is basically where the female is badass not just the men!!! Like as they should!!!!! This seriously was so refreshing to read because in their books they went through ups and down and now finally they are so happy and in love!

Bratva Bride- Illayana Volkov and Arturo De Luca ~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bratva Prince- Aleksandr Volkov and Drea Ortega ~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bratva Knight- Nikolai Volkov and Tatiana Andreeva ~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bratva Butcher- Dimitri Volkov and Autumn DeValos ~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bratva Menace- Lukyan Volkov and Lyla Voznesensky ~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Honestly after re reading all of these so many times they are definitely 4 and 5 stars!!!!

What a book,I literally read it in one sitting and there wasn't even one page where I was not giggling and full out laughing so hard I can't breathe and I just hope she never stop writing about these characters.
The whole concept of volkov games setting was so fun with addition to the chaos and banter and let's not forget the whole sulking and sore looser part😂😂😂😂. Each and every couple are soulmates and each and every character be it Lukyan, iilayana, arturo, dimitri, nikolai, Aleksandr, drea,autumn,Tatiana, lyra were so hilarious mikhail was just cherry on top with hus cute nickname "dede" iykyk😂😂😂😂😂.Lukyan being Lukyan who did everything to win but at the end it was illayana and arturo though autumn's soft side and that portrait and and caring side was too adorable,then there was the pregnancy part and finally the ending part so badass and iconic...uffff I love them with all my heart it was such a fun read.😭🫶🫶🫶🫶If I could just read about them everyday doing absolutely nothing I would even do that because these characters are just everything to me😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶.
I don't feel there's going to be any mafia book like this and characters and badass fmcs with utterly badass and softie for their wives mmcs.I just hope 🤞we get more of them in the future😭😭🫶🫶.

OH MY GOSH, HOW I’VE MISSED THE VOLKOV SIBLINGS! 😭💗 And all hail Queen TJ Maguire for giving us more of them!!!

It’s a holiday novella where the entire Volkov family goes on holiday to Switzerland! How I’ve missed their chaos! 🥹 It’s so nice to see the siblings and their father with their significant others, and of course, the twins, LOL! The only children in the family! 😂💗

And BTW, it’s Autumn’s first Christmas with them! 🥺💗 Her presents for the Volkov family brought me to tears. 😭😭 She is such a wonderful woman, and I absolutely adore her! 🫶🏻

And the family games? As expected, SOOOO CHAOTIC and SOOOO Volkov-family-style, LOLLL! 😂 They’re all so competitive, and it was honestly so much fun to read!

This is such a good novella for anyone who just can’t get enough of the Volkov siblings’ stories! 🥹❤️‍🔥

AKHHH, NOW I WANT TO REREAD THE ENTIRE SERIES FROM THE BEGINNING AGAINNNN! 😭💗

Bratva Holiday by TJ Maguire 🎄

It’s the fun little story you didn’t even know you needed! 😍

Thank you, TJ! Reading this made me realise just how much I’ve missed all the Volkovs! ❤️

The banter between everyone is absolutely top tier, especially Lukyan! 😂 I was laughing so much. Maybe it’s time for a little Bratva series reread? 🤔

And with the story ending the way it did, we ALL know what’s coming for those intruders… buuuutttt does this mean we might be getting another fun little novella? Because I’m definitely not opposed! 🫣👀

More Volkovs, please! ❤️

[angelic · Rating 5 out of 5]

I honestly love this. Them all being together, and playing these games truly made me feel like I was a little part of their family.

At first I was a bit skeptical, because sometimes a book can feel like a story is being milked — but I just always want more when it comes to this family.

I still need to read two books in the series, and totally spoiled myself. But I can live with that, this totally was a fun quick read.

Anything to catch a glimpse of my favorite woman called Lyla.

[Kerrie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Why why why did we not get to see the family throw down in action ughh I need more. DEDE WITH THE HOOLAHOOP AND MIKHAIL 🤣. I have never laughed so hard at a book. This series is chefs kiss. I started it thjs year and already reread it and debating rereading again. I need 5 more books of just the family. How do we convince her to write some more? PLEASE. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Swati · Rating 5 out of 5]

LISTEN I cannot put into words how much I love this crazy family. Their petty childish squabbling, crazy competitiveness, and absolutely unhinged shenanigans! I am obsessed. This surprise drop was everything I didn’t know I needed.

And that ending??? “You chose the wrong house, motherfucker.” Perfection 🤌

[Darkreader · Rating 4.75 out of 5]

The only reason I am not giving it a 5 is because of that damn ending 😭😭😭
WHYYYY WOULD YOU LEAVE US ON EDGE, T.J.,

Plus just wanna say I loved the novella; I couldn't stop laughing, and the family bond was so wholesome. I do need to say that gift from Autumn was genuinely such a kind and warm gift (I kinda teared up ).

[Khushi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved being reunited with the Bratva family. The chaotic siblings have permission to fight, I was laughing half the time while reading it. The Family games were so good, I enjoyed them so much 🥺❤️ I loved the emotional moments, this was everything I needed, can’t wait for Bratva Kingpin.

[Renee taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

As if your not happy to be back with our favourite family .

The amount of times I laughed reading this book

That ending tho …….
Does this mean this book will set us up for king pin ????


So much love for this family

Team NICK !

[Stephanie Landry · Rating 4.75 out of 5]

Awwww!!! Well now I need to see Aleksandr as a dad 🥹🥹🥹 what sweet and fun little novella!! Please don’t let it be the end! I missed this family so much… T.J, please, I’m gonna need about (roughly) a thousand more books about them, thanks 😇

[Ava O'Reilly · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Oline Krog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Again and again, I’m amazed how much I love your books, I missed the Volkov family so much! I needed this as a small and lovely reminder, amazing book! Made me laugh and smile

[Ang -PNR Book Lover Reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

That ending was annoying

[Courtney · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

What can I say? I absolutely adore this series. The surprise drop of Bratva Holiday was the perfect treat to kick off the holiday season!

[Karly Wood · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m not usually a fan of novellas but this was exactly what I needed. I love the Volkovs so much and being back in the Bratva world was chaotic, hilarious and so heartwarming.

[Grace Lockerbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved every single moment in this novella , was so good being reunited with the Volkov family. Their antics are brilliant and their banter is some of my favourites to read.

[Paula · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love them, but even I got tired of their constant bickering

[Lauren Stevenson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just finished the series when this came out, so lovely timing! Nice little short story to continue with the characters, funny as always! And some nice little updates in there as well

[Kel (BrassBooks) · Rating 3.5 out of 5]

I loved being back with the Volkov family so bloody much.
But my most hated trope reared its ugly head once again, and took the gloss off my excitement.

[Shresta Nahar · Rating 5 out of 5]
