Unwrapping Krampus

by Amber Nicole, Jenn Bullard, Eliza Kay

When I was a young boy, every year, I would promise Santa that I would be a good boy. But I’m a man now and circumstances change. The things I've had to do for the Callahan mafia have stained my hands. I guess that makes me a bad guy—and puts me firmly on the Naughty List. Which has led me to be the prisoner of an insatiable monster. But I’m not alone. My only light in this dark dungeon is him, Nikolai. A mysterious stranger. He makes me feel wanted and believe that maybe I deserve to be happy after all. There’s only one he has evil intentions burning within. He craves my obedience. I crave him. Maybe I can still be a good boy after all.
This is a dark, spicy, holiday tale.

For honest Review. This was definitely a different take on a Christmas story. I loved the dark and dirty krampus. Who has a very naughty side. When a letter from a kid named Leo bianchi hits Santa's pile of letter it never gets answered ,now as a adult he's on krampus naughty list and his wishes will come true only not the way he thinks . ps if you love a story that's has mm romance and lots of triggers then boy are you in for some delicious reading. 10 stars.

I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t a super sweet and emotional smutty read! I’m in love with this! Can I have more? A bonus epilogue about the kids reaction? Anything? I promise to be good 😉
It’s a super sweet MM holiday Krampus novella and a MUST read! I am obsessed!!
Leo my baby! And Nik? 🥵

I really wanted to love this since it had a lot my favorite tropes like MM, light BDSM and monster 🍆

Unfortunately it was just all over the place and kind of a mess for me. Plus way too much deception just gave me the ick.

The Krampus didn’t really follow any traditional role and was more like Santa, running the workshop, being in charge of the elves, reading the list & checking it twice, etc. His father is apparently Santa but I’m not sure what the difference is.

There was also an obnoxiously bratty twin brother, Kris, that added nothing to the story. Plus a fiancé that was so psycho and hurt our sweet MMC so badly, I was super disappointed she didn’t get into any trouble (honestly she deserved death for the trouble she cause and how malicious she was). I feel like her storyline never wrapped up either, because once she realizes how much she was tricked, things will get UGLY fast.

Promises of spankings and punishments didn’t really pan out to much IMO, and sex was just meh for me, partially because one of them was hiding/ lying so much to the other.

It did seem to wrap up okay and had a sweet ending but overall I felt like it jumped around too much.

That was a train wreck. It’s like someone plotted out a terrific story, then handed it to a group of sixth graders and told them they had an hour to write it. The characters have the emotional depth of a puddle in the dry season. They are sobbing in abject misery then bouncing with excitement then boiling with anger in a few sentences, with the most simplistic thoughts behind their emotions. The dialogue is stilted and awkward at several points. The story refers back to things that never happened. This had a great deal of potential that tragically failed to develop.

Took me a few pages to get Into this as it's not my usual book to read, but once I did it was great. I loved the steam that nik and Leo has and how the relatio ship develops over the book.

Great read!

This story is such a great twist on Krampus. I loved the characters, and such a cute ending! Would love to read more.

He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake… When Leo breaks a childhood promise to Santa & ends up on the naughty list, Krampus comes to town. Kidnapped & taken to Krampus’ playroom, will Leo become a good boy? Or will Krampus learn not everything is black & white? This was a cute, kinky, 🌶️ MM twist on the story of Santa Claus. If you’re looking for a short, sexy Christmas tale of finding your other half, I recommend reading Unwrapping Krampus!

This is a little story based on Santa who turns out being a Krampus. Nick has always been fascinated By Leo since he first read his letter to Santa. Nick is in trouble so has been stealing from people to pay some unsavory people. Enter Nick and damn if he don't want punish Leo. He takes Leo with him to the North Pole. The rest well your going to have to read yourself.

Ummm holly jolly Krampus tails this was hottttt. New kink unlocked. It was good, spicy, and changed my whole view on traditional Christmas men. Wowza.

[S.A. Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg this story was hot 🥵 I loved Leo and Nik’s story.

A unique take on Santa, Krampus, and the North Pole. This story was filled with lots of smexy scenes and full of spice 🌶️

The prologue was perfect and made tear up. A sexy hot holiday read!

[BobbiJo · Rating 5 out of 5]

First off, I love the twist out on Santa, Krampus, and Kris Kringle.

Leo and Krampus make the sweetest couple, and are as close as you get to fated mates without actually saying they are fated.

Leo is this good but lost soul who just wants to belong to a family, and Krampus is this cinnamon roll for children but ruthless in his punishments for the wicked. He doesn’t see the shades of grey at first, until Leo makes him realize that not all things are black and white.

This book has so much spice, but it has plot as well.

[Heather Faulborn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was raised to be afraid of Krampus. But if he is as hot as this book tells, then please put me on the naughty list! A great book that winds the tale of Krampus and Santa, with a sexy twist that will rip your heart out and put it back again.

You have to read this book!

Quick holiday festive fantasy read!! It’s not common to get all those together & with MM! It was a really great story that lead these two together with a great outcome! Short & steamy!

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Krampus is a man in one form and more of a monster with red eyes, a tail and horns in his other form. He remembers the letter Leo wrote when he was child, promising to be a good boy so he could get a family for Christmas. A letter that was never answered. Leo has tried so hard to be good, get a home of his own and someday a family. But, he's on the naughty list so Krampus kidnaps him and takes him back to the North Pole.
An amazing story of men looking for love and family. Plot twists, danger, lies, angst and so much steam all lead to a HEA

[Shannon Parrent · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well this Christmas book wasn't what I was expecting in the best way possible. Who doesn't love Christmas smut!!
The story follows Leo who made it onto Krampus' naughty list and Nik who well is looking to take over for the big man. I loved the journey that Leo and Nik took together and found that maybe they both deserve to be happy. A great sweet MM novella for the Christmas season. Definitely a must read

[Vanessa Lowe · Rating 5 out of 5]

An Erotic & Passionate tale

I loved the different take on Krampus and all the lust between Leo & Nik(Krampus) that eventually turned to love.
I don’t read a lot of just MM tales but I was very captivated by this one and loved all the erotic scenes between the two including when Nik is Krampus!
We can’t forget about Nik getting revenge for Leo and how he’d do anything to keep him.
Definitely recommend if you like a little something different in your holiday story.

[Dorothy Y Nunamacher · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love this story. It's a different spin on Krampus. It's got everything you could ask for in a XXX-mas book. The story has MM, a little bit of BDSM, Fated Mates and a crazy witch trying to steel the HEA. So if you love all of that, grab a copy and see what happens to Nikolai and Leo. Believe me you won't be disappointed.

[Teresa Juckett (Love Dark Reads) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a quick hot read that these ladies wrote with their own special twist of a Christmas story. I loved Leo and Krampus/Nic. This gives you a different take on Santa, North Pole and Krampus, because it definitely had some hot sexy scenes as well as have you shedding tears. It's a must read for those cold weathery nights.

Unwrapping Krampus was so good!

Unwrapping Krampus, by Eliza Kay @alizakayauthor, Amber Nicole @ambernicoleauthor & Jenn Bullard @author.jenn.bullard. Eliza is a new author for me. Read the trigger warnings!

This was such a cute novella about Nikolai/Krampus& Leo! Tropes: Contemporary, MM, Adult Napped by Krampus, Become Mr Claus & HEA!

[Amber Pickerill · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a naughty list you might want to be on. This is a super quick novella with Krampus (Nikolai) and Leo Bianchi. When Leo finds himself on the naughty list, Krampus is more than happy to punish the boy he hasn't stopped thinking about.

[Echo · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my last year of 2022, I’m so glad it was this one. This book was hot, burning hot! I’ll gladly be Krampus‘s pet if it means I’ll get the same treatment at Leo. That was steaming! Great story!

[Kelly Paez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved the book, Hated Stella

Very cute Christmas story about Krampus and Leo finding love. Read it and you’ll quickly understand my dislike of Stella but without her the story wouldn’t be the same.

Nice MM holiday retelling

This was a very nice retelling of the Krampus story. Even more so bringing in different tales of Christmas. I loved the fact that it was MM. Done really well!

[Suzanne McNeill Taviner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read.

This was such a fun read. I loved Krampus/Nik, he had such a playful heart, underneath that grumbly exterior! And Leo, my heart just melted for him, he just wanted someone to love him!
