Rebel Without a Claus

The Tink Holly Chronicles, Book 1

De: Abigail Drake

Narrado por: Elizabeth Scott

Christmas elf Tinklebelle Holly is a screw-up. Demoted to a job in the reindeer division after one infraction too many, she hates her job, hates her life, and despises the North Pole.

But when a surprise visitor arrives from Elven High Council and Tink is assigned to show him around, everything changes. Jax Grayson is a dark elf, and unlike anyone she’s ever met. Looking past his obvious hotness, Tink knows he has a secret, and the audit he’s supposedly performing doesn’t feel legit.

After an unexpected tragedy occurs, Tink’s life is thrown into even greater turmoil, and it seems like Jax might be the only one Tink can truly trust. Can she help him figure out what’s happening on the North Pole, or will Jax be her worst mistake of all?

A New Christmas Tradition

I am in Christmas heaven! Rebel Without A Claus is without a doubt my favorite holiday book. I have never laughed so hard and just felt giddy waiting to see what comes out of Tink's mouth next. Her foul language consists of phrases like Jiminy Christmas and fugidity fudge cakes. Her antics, such as spraying Liquid A** in a girl's apartment, are just too funny and plentiful. There are also added bonuses like Jax, a handsome dark elf and a doozy of a mystery. My new Christmas tradition is to reread this book every year.

Rebel Without a Claus

Ding, ding, ding! We have a Christmas winner of the year! Oh my gosh, this was so dang cute and funny. This was exactly what I needed and wanted from a Christmas book.

I loved Tink. She was just so freakin' adorable! Fun, sassy, cute, and little naughty (OK sometimes a lot naughty!). But in a fun way... except when she was getting in trouble, which was most of the time. Ok Ok, what I am trying to say is that she was exactly my kind of girl!!! LOL

This book is over the top Christmas crazy - and I can't wait to read the next one in the series!

Audio - I though the narrator did an excellent job! The reader can really make it or break it for me in an Audio book, and this one made it!

If you are looking for a more serious, slow, boring Christmas book - this is not for you! But if it is fun and laughs... and a little love then stop your scrolling and just get this one!


I voluntarily posted this review after receiving a copy of this book from The Audio Bookworm - Thank You!

Winter cozy mystery with a tink

Christmas with an elf. This was light, fun and entertaining. I liked Tink and Jax. They both were more than the assignment given them. Holiday joy all the way around. What's next? I am waiting for more of Tink and her sleuthing skills.

Nice to meet you Elizabeth Scott.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book. I think the audio version definitely helped. The narrator did such a good job. It was like listening to a movie!!

A Fun Christmas Story

This was a fun mystery that takes place in the North Pole. Even though the main character is an elf it’s an adult mystery, not for kids. Definitely a whodunit type story.

Pure Entertainment! You’ll Root for Tink!

Grab a hot chocolate, take a break from the Xmas madness and dive into the creative and fun Elf world. Criminal elves? Elf romance and mystery? YES please! You’ll look at the elf on the shelf in a whole new (naughty) way! This is beyond fun. Download today!

Think Holly is not your typical Christmas elf

Loved this story. Full of humor, mystery and a hint of romance. Love Tink and her dark elf and all the characters that played into this story, can’t wait to see what Tink gets herself into in the next one!

Fantastic, festive story.

All right, Get your favorite beverage, cozy blanket, light that fire and tuck into Tink's first tale. The narrator is fabulous--her voice is engaging and sassy just like the character herself. The story takes us into a familiar world, but gives us a new take on its operations and the characters we've come to love. Santa Claus and the whole gang have more complicated lives than I ever imagined and that's the mark of one heck of an imaginative writer. Drake offers the old world of Santa and his elves new life. I love the mystery, the love interest, the wonder of an always Christmas world. Tink is both fun and lovable. She just can't quite do the right thing. You'll root for her until the very end. A perfect listen for those who love a nontraditional take on the holidays.
