When an elf crashes Santa's sleigh into Mike Radley's living room, he doesn't know what to expect.
He didn't expect a one-way trip to the North Pole where Jack Frost is waiting to kill him. He really didn't expect the Grim Reaper and Lily the succubus to take over Santa's gift delivering duties. And he definitely didn't expect to get caught up in the centuries-long battle between Santa Claus and the Krampus
Will Mike save Christmas in time, or will he just end up on the naughty list?
Is it borderline smut-with-a-plot featuring monster girls? Yes. Is the smut good? Also yes. Is the plot good? Absolutely yes.
If the idea of smut (and/or monster girls) isn't your cup of tea, then this book won't be either. But even if you're just *okay* with the odd graphic sex scene, then you'll likely really enjoy this book as the writing, characterisations, world building, etc. is really, really good.
Also if you - like me - are kind of weirded out by the idea of a "christmas episode" in a running series...don't worry, this one is actually great. Just trust me.
While it did take me a long time to get through this book (lots of distractions and life in general), I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
Most of the book was quite whimsical and outrageous. I really enjoy Annabelle's imaginative way of giving these classic characters, human desires, and emotions.
The chapter where the child passed had me sobbing. I lost my son to a brain tumour when he was 5, on the 10th of December. The only part I struggled with was that that little girl was alone. While that story was completely out of left field and a total shock, I found it therapeutic.
I’ve had a blast spending time with these characters across the entire series. Each book a fun adventure story with increasingly imaginative spice and outrageousness. If you like a spicy read a good adventure story then this book/series is for you!
This ones a CHONKER of a book. The whole set up for what the rules are in The North Pole takes a surprising amount of time and the pace does drag a bit. But let it settle in like a warm blanket and this one really swings for the fences. Both on the big scale with the insane timeline logic of santa's magic, but also on the small scale with Lily and Death especially getting a really devastating scene. And mike continues his track of being a more proactive and thoughtful lead character, but sometimes you just gotta zap a bad guy with sex magic until they spooge their pants.
I was really torn with this one. If not for the character and overarching story development, I would have probably rated this lower.
Maybe I'm too much of a Grinch but Christmas specials aren't for me, and a lot of this book really felt like one.
I think the worst part, and I'm entering slight spoiler territory here so turn back now, but the fact that so many characters weren't a part of the story felt like a massive miss. The majority of them were mostly absent and a few barely got a page of mention at all.
A Playful and Lighthearted Installment in the Erotic Fantasy Series
Significantly more lighthearted than previous volumes, it kept me thoroughly engaged and amused as we rode the roller coaster of their latest adventure. Thoroughly enjoyable.
This book made me cry twice. It is absolute smut and I cried twice.
I never thought a book about a man inheriting a house full of horny monster girls would ever become one of my favorites would become one of my favorites, but here we are.
