Quick Christmas thriller!
I couldn’t wait to do this as a Christmas advent read, just decided to do it in one go.
I was hoping for more excitement, especially at the end. Turned out to be a happy ending.
Would recommend picking up if you want a thriller with a Christmas twist!

Didn’t go where I expected it to, which was entertaining. If you’re looking for a fun, quick read for winter/the holiday season, this fits the bill! Def read it for the vibes only, though.
A quick read but oh so good.
Felt like a novella was the perfect length to accommodate the story.
Secluded Christmas getaway. Estranged siblings and their significant others. Power goes out. What can go wrong?
The twist which I was trying to figure from the get go was not at all what I would’ve expected. And to me that makes this a good read.
This is my first JE Rowney book but based on this read I’d definitely read another by this author.

I really wanted to like this book but it just fell kind of flat. It was too drawn out and could have been wrapped up faster and definitely wasn't thrilling for me particularly.

I nearly rated this 2.5 stars, but it really is written well and the characters are as flushed out as they can be for a novella.
That being said, it wasn't what I was expecting from the synopsis. I wanted it to be much darker/gorier and have a real pay off but it just... doesn't
