From the Description:
Santa's not the only one coming to town ...
It's older than Christ and has tormented European children for centuries. Now America faces its wrath. Unsuspecting kids vanish as a blizzard crushes New Jersey. All that remains are signs of destruction—and bloody hoof prints stomped in snow. Seventeen-year-old Billy Schweitzer awakes December 5 feeling depressed. Already feuding with his police chief father and golden boy older brother, Billy's devastated when his dream girl rejects him. When an unrelenting creature infiltrates his town, imperiling his family and friends, Billy must overcome his own demons to understand why his supposedly innocent high school peers have been snatched, and how to rescue them from a famous saint's ruthless companion—that cannot be stopped.
I received The Dark Servant for review and as part of a blog tour. When the book arrived I wasn’t really sure if it would be a dark fantasy or a horror story, I was sure that the premise sounded intriguing. I was happy to find that it was a great horror story! With characters that you can identify with and care for and a monster straight out of European folklore. This fast paces novel is perfect if you like old-school horror or are just in the mood for a Christmas horror tale that will leave you shivering with fear and delight. Have you been good this year??? A solid 4.5 star read.
