Sentient Claus – Holly Wilde

4 stars

YOU GET IT, MADAME CLAUS! Who needs Santa Claus when you can have Sentient Claus??? Certainly not me!

Santa has turned into a complete nightmare, taking gifts away from anyone who reads or writes smut. He’s been taken in by the ‘manly man’ podcasts and believes that smut is the Devil’s work. Mrs. Claus has finally had enough of her husband’s misogynistic ways and sets out to teach him a lesson. One their sentient sleigh, Sylas, is happy to help with.

Full of holiday cheer and godd level naughtiness, Sentient Claus is a study of feminine rage and being completely done with being treated as lesser because of our gender or the kind of books we read. Under all the silliness is an important message for the smut hating community: we will not tolerate being abused for our reading preferences.

Holly did such a great job of blending the silly Christmas smut with the real-life hate that smut readers and writers receive. We all know or have interacted with someone just like Holly’s Santa, and it was extremely cathartic to read as he got exactly what he deserved.

I’m looking forward to my next giant peen covered book 😂
