Wrapped Up in Christmas

A Frost & Crowe Mystery

De: Kristen Painter

Narrado por: Hollis McCarthy, B.J. Harrison

Princess Jayne Frost and Prince Consort Sinclair Crowe have been called back to Nocturne Falls for Christmas so that Jayne can help out at the short-staffed Santa’s Workshop.

Being back means seeing some old friends, but also finding new trouble that Jayne just can’t stop thinking about. Are the random break-ins really someone trying to ruin Christmas? Because as Santa Claus’s niece, that feels personal to her.

But when the real reason for the break-ins gets unwrapped, Jayne decides to do everything in her power to put an end to the problem.

Too bad it might also mean the end of her.

Another win

I love Jane and Sin so much ! This book was just as sweet as all the others. I can’t wait for another one!

Loved it

This is a great addition to the series. Loved the book. I highly recommend it. Look forward to the next one.

Merry Merry

I was hoping for more sex and violence in this mystery novel, but it turns out the story didn’t need that. It was absolutely adorKably endearing.

Another Great Read

Started off slow but it got there! The surprise at the end, priceless. Cannot wait for more. Side note, the audio when Jane is speaking is off. Hoping it will be fixed the next book.

Love the Frost series

I hope this series continues. I love all the characters. It’s been great fun. Jane and Sin …. Are awesome together.

Easy listening

I love this whole series, it is fun and full of fantasy and cheesy romance without anything graphic. Your kids can listen without worry (ie no swearing and no sex). This book is specifically about Jayne and Sin, so if you haven't read the whole series, it won't mean too much for you and holds spoiler alerts (go read the series for Jayne Frost book 1 to 8). I so so so hope the author continues this story, as I want all the details of what happens next!

MORE PLEASE!!!!

I love the Noctern Falls Series….the stories help me get through the day/night

Incredibly inventive and fresh

***Spoiler Free***

First I knew I would love this since Kristen is one of my favorite authors and being able to visit Nocturne Falls with Jayne and Sinclair is always fun. We got to visit with a few of the town's folk from previous stories and that is a special treat, Sheriff and Birdie are two of my favorite characters and now we have a new citizen in Nocturne Falls that will hopefully make it into their own story. Makes me want to start the entire Nocturne Falls series all over again. Second, I loved having two narrators. B.J. Harrison is a favorite of mine and I always know I'm going to enjoy listening to whatever he is reading. Hollis McCarthy makes a perfect Jayne! I certainly hope that they will be reading the next Jayne Frost together again.

The story was inventive, fresh and fun. I couldn't figure out the culprit until right before it was revealed and that makes for a great mystery. Trying to figure out the why to the first part of the mystery then trying to figure out the who made for a fun ride. The special ending makes me hopeful for at least one more in Jayne Frost series, crossing fingers for many more. I still say that Nocturne Falls, Jayne Frost and Shadowvale would make for very powerful TV series!

Delightfully enjoyable

A dark elf princess who is Santa’s niece is married to a necromancer and involved in a mystery. Supernatural protagonists vs. ordinary villains. Fascinating story and interesting characters.

A really good listen but...

Sound mixing was a little weird. I know this is done a lot but "toning down" the "s"s at the beginning of words to sound like "f"s and "th"s I found to be rather distracting. "Fin" vs "Sin" was weird when the latter is his name.
