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!
