That Time I Became Santa Claus

Rate this book
Welcome to retail during the holidays, or as I like to call it, the seventh circle of ho-ho-hell. I might be named Chris, but that’s about the only festive thing about me.

So you can imagine my surprise when a cigar-smoking elf shows up in my room and whisks me off to the North Pole. Not only is Santa real, but he’s dead, and guess who just got the job?

I’ve got twenty days to bulk up, suit up, and sack up… toy sack, that is. Except nobody ever told me the workshop had so many distracting employees, including an ice queen that’s hot enough to make me melt.

Yeah, Santa Claus is coming, and hopefully, it isn’t just to town.

Don't buy this book if you hate reindeer shifter sex, taming shrews, or you're a guy named Kyle.

I'm a sucker for a parody.

Whether it's films or books, I just have to give them a try. This one is pretty good. No major issues, no character flaws, no janky plot lines, this is just fine.

a Yuletide delight

This story hit exactly the spot I needed this Christmas. I was so glad I added it to my reading list. A fantastic spin on the passing of the Santa mantle that felt like a balanced mix of isekai Fantacy and Slice of life. I highly recommend

Merry Christmas.

Best Christmas story ever! Sex, magic, warfare, and a
Merry Christmas. Why hasn’t this story been told before? Amazingly well done. The cliches and rhetoric were beautifully executed… thank you!

A fun, quick read

This book was a lot of fun. It's short, but still very fun. If you like Mr. Archers work, then you'll probably like this one.

Funny and a good read

Good timing to read a Christmas story. Funny and full of jokes. I particularly like how the writer used the cartoon version of the North Pole as his setting.

Hilarious!

Funny and a bit bawdy, this story is a mix of various Santa legends with a spin..


A fun and easy read that's worth the time.

Turn about!

Very interesting characters and story line! Christmas would not be the same without Santa for many people. I Krmpus got what he deserved.

Such a silly story concept I had to read it!

Definitely a whole new look at Santa and Krampus. Great story that's overall very sulky and fun! I really enjoyed this!
