Christmas Eve Carnage 2: Sprinkles Lives by John Lynch | Book Review

Christmas Eve Carnage 2: Sprinkles Lives by John Lynch is a tale where the carnage leaves this book with blood pooled in the margins and dripping from the pages.

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Christmas Eve Carnage 2: Sprinkles Lives by John Lynch –

A trucker driving along a snowy route hears a horrible news report of a family that was murdered. The next thing he knows, he’s been in an accident. When he sees how the other car ended up, he can’t believe what he’s seeing… he meets Sprinkles, the living Christmas elf, who is on a mission to take out the only survivor of his Christmas Eve Massacre.

Right away, readers are met with some terrible bloodshed that only gets worse as you go on. 

The first scene of carnage and the Christmas song that sprinkles sings…. My goodness. What a scene! 

Prepare your buttholes for this one…. There were scenes I had to skim-read! 

My Favorite Passages from Christmas Eve Carnage 2: Sprinkles Lives –

He pressed <PLAY> and his portable speaker came to life; Taylor Swift was singing about a Christmas tree farm. While it might not have the history of many Christmas songs, he considered it to be a modern classic.

A green blur was trudging through the snow, headed straight for him. The thing approached, and when at last it was close enough to be recognizable through his impaired vision, his first thought was that he must be losing his fucking mind. It was an elf. 

A fucking Christmas elf. Knee-high, green tunic, the damn thing even had the hat to top it off. It maneuvered through the snow, humming a Christmas tune.

You couldn’t choose the pieces on your chessboard, but you had agency over the moves you made with the ones you did have.

My Final Thoughts on Christmas Eve Carnage 2: Sprinkles Lives –

My goodness, this was a brutal read. I didn’t think it could get more intense after the first book. I was very, very wrong. Horror fans, you’re in for a treat!
