Santa’s Helpers

Another great story. One that keeps you on your toes with Fortune
and the the girls. It’s all action before Christmas, as Santa’s helpers
decorate and prepare for the grand finally in Wasteland. You’ll have to read it for yourself to find out who’s been naughty or nice.

Very disappointing. The story was ridiculous, the characters weren't even in the same wheelhouse as their normal behavior. Everything about this story left me frustrated and annoyed. At this point I'd say not even worth reading.
