Crystal Caldwell is a mother and a dancer who loves to party and is a bit reckless. But when one of the people she attracts to the chaos of her world kidnaps her daughter, Holly, Crystal does the only thing she can do… what we would all do. She magically brings a snowman named Nicholas to life and, violently—and possibly with a smidge of psychosis—hunts down those who would try to hurt someone she loves. Looking for a good time? Look no further, when red snow piles so high that not even a plow will be able to keep these pages clean.
