Holiday Shifters: A Clean YA Paranormal Holiday Romance

I think this was a cute and fast paced read, perfect for the YA category. The characters were likeable, and I loved the take on Santa and the magical time that is Christmas. Because it was a shorter book there were times that I wished there was a little more detail and time to watch the characters grow together, but I am still happy to have read the book. I'll recommend this to my younger cousin when it comes out.

I received this book from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers giveaway from the February 2024 batch, yes I know here we are in April and I finally got to it but I am a mood reader and already had so many other books I had started before I got to this one. I never really know how to rate a book, but to rate one that I was given for free makes me even more anxious, so I will try to be as honest as I can be.
I entered the giveaway because I have been slowly but surely getting into some rom coms and cozy books such as this.
Stranded with a shifter is definitely something different and out of the box of what I would normally read, but it was cute and adorable. It is not necessarily a 5 star read for me because it was pretty short and didn't really show more build a lot of character development. To be fair it really read like an old school fairy tale story, it was really fast paced and quick cozy romance (no spice, which I have no issues with) so it's not a book of great depth.

I recommend that if you like a really fast romance , that has no spice but is cute.
I enjoyed it for what it was a cute, short, magical romance. show less

Stranded with a Shifter is a quick read that can be finished in about an hour. It is the story of a reindeer shifter with the last name Prancer, who is determined to get into Santa's good graces after a previous family member had caused a scandal. On Christmas Eve, there is a malfunctioning elevator that almost causes another catastrophe, but inadvertently leads to a love connection.

Knowing that the book is about one of Santa's reindeer falling in love should warn the reader that this is not heavy literature. The story is cute and fluffy, ending in a sweet happily ever after.

Thanks to the LibraryThing and the publishing company for this ARC.
Okay, first and foremost, you have to remember that this is a YA book and that it’s meant to be a short story.
However, I felt it to be a little rushed. They met on Christmas Eve and were in love by New Year’s Eve? Her parents went and let her stay at a boys house she had just met?
I wish there had been more context and that it had been longer, but it is a very cute, fluffy, quick read for a younger teen.

This was such a sweet holiday read that may be short but packs a lot in a little bit of time. With reindeer shifters and a cute romance that follows this novella is sure to please anyone who has a love for love and the holidays.
