Review: The Cupids Do Christmas

The Cupids Do Christmas by Riza Curtis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a short, sweet, and very cute Christmas story. Set in a paranormal world where Santa must take paternity leave, the Cupid squad is talked into helping take up the slack.

Piotr, a cupid, is tired of watching everyone else get their happy ever after’s. He doesn’t think there is a someone for him, it doesn’t seem to be in the cards. Nobody wants him, he’s so different, so he pushes everyone away with his mean personality. In another story, he’d be the one saying “bah, humbug”. He’s decided that he’s going to leave the Cupid ranks. But darn it, his boss reminds him that he has to give a month’s notice. She ships him off to help Santa and the elves. Piotr gets assigned to help Danny.

Danny makes magical wooden ponies. Danny is kind and caring, the opposite of Piotr. And Danny doesn’t see Piotr as different, he sees him as being hot. And tries to act as his friends, making sure that Piotr has some fun. This is the beginning the change in Piotr.

I love both Piotr and Danny as well as Piotr’s boss Marseille. The plot was well done, and the world built here is fun and imaginative. This is just a fun story to read.
