Dark retelling of Oogie Boogie mixed with Coraline.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite movies, so I was really excited to read this book—and I really enjoyed it!

I loved the world and the creepy yet magical feel of the story. Both Dreadmoor and the Land of Nightmares seemed like interesting places, and I would love to explore them more.

The banter between the FMC, Dolly, and the MMC, Boogeyman, was fantastic. Their relationship development was well-written, and I loved how they were able to teach and help each other. Some of their interactions even made me giggle.

The side characters were also great, and I’d love to learn more about them. I especially loved Havoc with her nonsensical chatter and rhymes.

I can’t wait to read more!



I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
