Tis the season....for survival!
It's soooooooo goooooood! It combines horrible characters that you thought you wouldn't mind seeing murdered but actually don't want to see murdered at the same time, 🤣 with a Victorian toy shop in the heart of modern London which has automatons! What's not to love?! Definite 5 star Christmas read!

I can't explain why I don't like it because I can't put my finger on why, I just don't like it!
