Story
Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul.

Loved the story, but the narration left me wanting. It was very hard to realize when she switched between a couple of the characters, so I was getting very confused. Overall a good book though.

I was given the chance to review the ARC Audio of this book, and was enjoying it so much that I purchased the book myself in all 3 formats. The narration perfectly fits the book and made it all flow so seamlessly. Can't wait to continue the story. Another wonderful tale from one of my favorite authors.

Wonderful story. The narration was perfect. On the other hand. Audibles requirement for 15 words for a review is terrible. More books would probably be reviewed if it was cut down.

One Christmas Eve in a small hollow in Boone County, West Virginia, struggling songwriter Jesse Walker witnesses a strange spectacle: seven devilish figures chasing a man in a red suit toward a sleigh and eight reindeer. When the reindeer leap skyward, taking the sleigh, devil men, and Santa into the clouds, screams follow. Moments later, a large sack plummets back to earth, a magical sack that thrusts the down-on-his-luck singer into the clutches of the terrifying Yule Lord, Krampus.

Beautifully written and narrated tale of Krampus. The mixing of Santa and Krampus with a smattering of other gods made this tale so unforgettable and with the addition of the humans in it, I couldn't put it down. So glad I got it.
