What Amazon says:

Set in Appalachia, this is a twisted fairytale about a failed West Virginia songwriter who gets ensnared on Christmas Eve in an eternal war between anot-so-saintly Saint Nick and his dark enemy Krampus, an ancient trickster demon.  Krampus has been imprisoned by Saint Nick for 500 years and Saint Nick stole his magical sack.  Jesse, the songwriter, finds the sack and upon discovering what it does leads him on a path he never expected to try and save his ex-wife and daughter from some bad people.

This was a pretty good book.  I liked the inclusion of a bit of Norse Mythology along with the story of Krampus.  It is well written and the characters were well developed.  Most of the story was about Jesse and trying to get his wife and daughter back with the battle of Krampus and Saint Nick as a second story.  I liked how it ended - thought it wrapped up well.

check this one out.
