The Pizza Deliveryman's Tale by Ronan Barbour
DNF @86%
I know it seems silly to DNF this far into the book, but unfortunately I can’t continue with this book. The author reached out to me on Instagram to read and review the book. I agreed, hoping for a holiday tale full of creepy vampire Santa.
But what I got instead was a book full of pizza deliveries and every female character wanting to hook up with the male main character. Not to mention a few SA on our main character. And these are handled super lightly.
While a few creepy moments sprinkled in here and there, this book is not very horror driven to me. The creepy Santa is briefly introduced about 70% in… and at 86% we still haven’t seen vampire Santa in his full glory.
This book is just not the book for me. Every reader has their own likes/dislikes. I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from reading this book. Nor am I harping on anyone who likes it.
At the end of the day, I just can’t finish this. I tried my best to push through.
Thanks again to the author for reaching out to me and I wish him nothing but the best in his writing career.
