THE SANTAS is a straight up morality play for the twenty-first century. What better time than Christmas to examine the things that are right and wrong with the world in which we live.
THE SANTAS has it all… Santa, of course, his helper Tucker, assorted villains along with deserving folk that are just a bit down on their luck. And… Santa has been murdered. What is Tucker to do?
Last year, at this time, I read several holiday stories. Some were sappy; others were fun. THE SANTAS seems a practical guide for each of us to find the meaning of Christmas for ourselves.

Such a sweet, inspiring story to get into the Christmas season! I received this Advanced Reader Copy not knowing what to expect. I'm so used to Molles' phenomenal action-packed thrillers, so this was quite the change of pace. But it was such a delightful story, highlighting the spirit of giving. Just what I needed heading into the holiday season after the way 2020 has gone. Thank you DJ Molles for a wonderful Christmas story!

I love the plot of this book! I loved the idea behind location based Santa’s and their actual purpose. It would be cool if that really existed. I felt like Tucker was super relatable- from his career choices, to how he got in a pickle with his family, and the pressures of getting everything done by Christmas. There was a nice sprinkle of drama and mystery with a nice mix of Christmas magic. Although the book started on a sad note, I was happy with the ending… one I didn’t see coming!

This was a wonderful story and not what I expected. If you are looking for a Christmas story that is unlike any other, this one is for you. The Santas is an organization that places a Santa and a Santa's helper in territories all over that help families who are in need with not only material items but things like babysitting so that you can make it to job interviews and replacing broken parts in cars so you can make it to to work. All done anonymously. This is a feel-good, wish I could work for an organization like this story.
