Acerca de esta escucha

Despite growing up in a family of villains, I’d rather curl up and read than commit crimes. When I get coerced by my brother into helping him rob a bank, I run into August, my childhood crush, also known as Chrono, the city’s greatest superhero. He’s sexy, sweet, and suddenly, he’s asking me to Thanksgiving with his parents.

It’s probably because he doesn’t realize that I’m Leviathan, a villain with the power of telekinesis. And I can’t tell him because he’d never forgive me and would stop doing things like cooking for me - wait, maybe that would be a good thing, since he’s a terrible cook. It doesn’t help that my parents think they’re the ultimate villains and won’t stop getting in my way, although they can’t even steal toilet paper without getting caught.

But when real supervillains (not the wannabe kind that I grew up with) start targeting August, I might be forced to show everyone who I truly am: a slightly warped and snarky man who’d really rather read a book than save anything...besides August.

I’ll tear this world apart just to get another glimpse of him in those glasses and spandex suit. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him safe, even though it means exposing my true identity. Luckily, August still cares about me, proving that even a villain and a hero can fall in love. Hopefully, we’ll be able to save the world in time for Christmas.

This ridiculous and snarky holiday novel contains a villain-turned-unlikely hero (even if he’s a manager's worst nightmare), a superhero with a fondness for suckers who absolutely does not use his powers to cheat on board games, a hairless cat with an unfortunate name, bumbling family members that try to be evil, but are mostly just embarrassing, a snow globe with mysterious powers, betrayal, true love, a risqué Santa suit, and the saltiest chicken ever.

love love love

I love Alice winters books. They are quirky and funny. There is still spice but not an overwhelming amount to the point where there is no meat to the story. Michael Lesley is my favorite narrator. I absolutely love his range in voices (I have listened to quite a few other narrators lately that all the characters sound identical). I've read a lot of reviews stating that they were not fans of his narration style. I love that he narrates like someone would typically speak in person. Yes there are pauses, there is inflection, there is frustration and emotion in his narration to me. Nothing pulls me out of a book faster than the narration being so proper and perfect that it is unrealistic to me. Michael Lesley took this as being one of my favorites reads and knocked it out of the park. We all have opinions and this is just mine. But I think it's fantastic. It's one of my go-to listens, I have listened to it countless times.

absolutely hilarious and heartwarming

I've fallen in love with Alice Winters's books. the snark is on point and the writing flows easily. the narrator, however, absolutely makes the audio book totally worth it. His voices and pacing are perfect! definitely a must buy

Stilted Narration

I love Alice Winters. Her characters are always quirky and the books are written for the story not as padding for sex scenes.
Unfortunately Michael Lesley is not the best narrator. While his voice is lovely he has a stilted way of speaking that is distracting and detracts from the story. If he could learn not to pause in the middle of a sentence he would be a much better narrator.

Best Alice Winters Book

This is the best book I have read by this author and I was super bummed to see it’s a stand alone when she set up some solid side characters that could have a great story.

Hilariously Entertaining Listen

I just loved this book so much. Totally unexpected in the best way. Landon is totally hilarious and such an amazing character and August is sweet and so kind hearted, you can’t help but love him. My heart went out to both of them throughout the book. I loved finding there way through the good bad and ugly, but together they are strong. I loved the characters and the funny family moments. I feel like Alice winters created an amazing world that has so much to offer in this new series. I have to say the audio is amazing. Highly recommend!

I Loved this book! And Micheal Lesley truly brings it to life with his voice. Every character sounds unique and it is easily distinguishable who is talking. I loved & adored the book on it own, but this narrator truly brought it fully to life.

So fun!

This is my second time reading, but first listen. A Villain for Christmas is so much fun! It was part of the "Snow Globe" series but is a standalone, like all the books in the series were.
Here's part of my original review-
A Villain for Christmas had me laughing from the start, but had me wiping tears at the end. What a funny, wacky, over-the-top story this was! The banter, the snark, the downright silliness of some of the situations Landon and August found themselves in kept me completely entertained. But there were also some slightly heavier, more serious undertones to the story, which Ms. Winters always balances so well with her humor. Thus the tears at the end.

I had to do a reread by listening because I adore Michael Lesley's narration, and he lived up to my expectations! He's always so good with fun, lighthearted reads- he brings so much character to each character!

The best snark

This is so much fun. I highly recommend it. High snark, low angst, low to medium sexy times. High sweetness. Made me laugh out loud at work. Always the mark of the best books.

Thé Narration is EVERYTHING!

Thé dialogue is humorous and engaging, but it’s Mr. Michael Lesley’s narration that truly lifts these words off the page.

Amazing

Great story and narration. Lots of plot humor and deep down feels. Some part are laugh out loud and others are a bit more emotional. Highly recommend this audiobook.
