I wanted to read this book regardless of the reviews. Huge fan of Murr and so this one was of course on my to be read. It did not disappoint! I’m shocked with his writing skills to be honest. It was a good thriller and left you wanting to keep reading. Totally suggest!

Strangers trapped in an abandon town and murder during what should be the jolliest time of year. A quick read for thriller and horror lovers alike. However, there are a few plot holes that would help the book if filled. This book definitely reminded me of a Netflix horror that gives the right amount of jumps but leaves you needing a little more.

“You better watch out” is a brutally savage Christmas horror / thriller. A group of strangers are kidnapped seemingly at random and wake up to find themselves trapped in an abandoned town.

A case of “one by one” murder mystery occurs as they each fall prey to grizzly deaths as the remaining members race to find their escape.

This was a fast paced quick read that I really enjoyed! I was rooting for the main character despite his shady past.

I did wish for a different ending however the epilogue gave me some reprieve! I recommend this read for anyone that can stomach gruesome deaths!

Thank you to St Martin’s Press, James S Murray, Darren Wearmouth and NetGalley for the EARC.

meh it was okay, some parts were a bit uncomfy for me. there were some plot holes and i just didn’t love it.

Two days til Christmas…..

Jessica Kane wakes up and there is blood running down her face. She’s in a lot of pain and the last thing she remembers is going on a run. Now she’s trapped in a town that she’s never seen before and that appears to be mostly deserted, other than the five strangers with her, Eddie, Trinity, Greg, Tank and a fifth person. Then people start to die. They need to find a way out.

Well, if you’re going to like this be prepared to suspend some disbelief because there are some truck-sized plot holes here. Oh, and naming a character Damien Hurst, even spelled incorrectly is just, I don’t know…odd? Did the authors really not know who he was? I don’t know. You decide. It was OK.
