Resumen del Editor

Zombie reindeer.. exploding puffins...it's a Christmas catastrophe!

Awakened by bloodcurdling screams, Santa Claus springs into action to stop a lethal sickness from infecting his reindeer, only to learn that he's already too late. Christmas is all but ruined. But, when a disgraced alcoholic Christmas elf offers to retrofit the sleigh with highly advanced technology, Santa's hope of saving Christmas is renewed. With a solid plan in place, they hitch the sole surviving reindeer to Santa's sleigh and prepare to launch into the blustery night...until Father Time interrupts Santa's plans with an ultimatum that could kill Christmas forever.

Will Santa cave to Father Time's outrageous demands? Or, can he withstand the lord of time and space long enough to rewrite history itself? Most importantly of all, can Santa save Christmas?

What the Frost? is the first book in the hilarious Santa Saves Christmas series, an urban fantasy/time travel mashup. Listeners of Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl series and Shayne Silvers' Nate Temple series will love these audiobooks. Curl up by the fire with a mug of heavily spiked eggnog, and start listening now!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Zombie reindeer, carnivorous mermaids, ice-shooting velociraptors, and a shotgun named Cherry. Everything I need to get into the holiday spirit. What the Frost? is gonzo, action-packed insanity sprinkled with nutmeg. Goes down like warm eggnog spiked with a little too much moonshine. This book is hilarious. 5 golden rings." (Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl)

fun Christmas related read

Enjoyable and creative story line. Narrator seems to shout the story though. Good book nonetheless.

Nice surprise

What a great read!

While the beginning was shocking a surprising mix of offbeat charm

A new classic

This book is what would happen if you took the two classic Christmas movies, Die Hard and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and forced them to have a baby…and zombies.

I laughed... I cried... and I want a puffin now

This book is absolutely incredible. The narration is perfect--the range of voices by Andy McCain is like a treasure chest with new and awesome surprises the farther we get into the book.

Speaking of which, the story is the stuff of legends--literally. With appearances by Krampus, zombie reindeer and zombie polar bears, and a certain eastern European political figure, this makes for a wild and eclectic tale rife with Christmas puns and action.

I cannot recommend this book enough. If you love 80s action movies and want to see Santa kicking @$$ against forces of darkness, you've got to get this book. Get it now.

Hysterical

This is a great listen. Andy and Ben are quite the duo, seriously great pairing. I usually don't go for comedy novels, but bought this on recommendation from a friend and was absolutely blown away. Highly recommend.

Fun story, and a few laugh out loud moments

I met the author at a convention in De Moines, and he pitched me his books. i decided to give this book a listen. This book has a fun story with some amusing twists and dialogue. Overall, it's a fun read. I'm looking forward to the next installment. Probably the only reason I didn’t give a five star rating is because I found one of the characters kind of cringy, and I couldn't figure out if the author was making fun of him or praising him.

2nd?

when's the second one coming to audible? it's one of those it's so silly that it's his books

Santa Claus...my oh my

very creative. had a few issues with Santa's human challenges with his relationship with Mrs. Claus...the narrator was amazing. so talented. the story was exciting and riveting at times. looking forward to book two.

Hilarious, thrilling, and well done in all regards!

⚠️ This Christmas book is definitely not for kids, but hilarious for adults!

I absolutely loved this book! It’s a thrilling mix of Christmas wonder, action filled adventure, and adult humor. Santa goes on a wild voyage to save Christmas, teams up with unexpected characters, and deals with real adult issues. I was on the edge of my seat up until the ending and loved Ben’s shameless plug for his other fantastic books in the epilogue! I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

As for the narration, Andy McCain was a great choice to read this book. His voices had me laughing out loud and fit fantastically with the characters Ben so wonderfully crafted. The added audio effects were great too and I found myself attempting to mimic a few of them as I listened.

Overall highly recommend this book, others by the author, and others by the narrator. Great job guys!!

Outrageous Fun!!

If you are looking for an outrageous, alternative Christmas story, look no further. I can’t really say much without spoilers, but the cast of characters is out of this world. I will say that Father Time’s laugh had me laughing out loud every time. Check it out if the cover interest you. Not for the faint of heart ;)
