Xmas Break by JE Rowney
2.0
fast-paced

This one just didn't do it for me. The writing was very repetitive, and I'm not sure any character ever finished a... sentence/thought. There were just so many ellipsis... in... this... book. They drove me nuts. I already have an issue with thriller/suspense books keeping things from the reader to build tension, but this one does it with like, everything? The characters in this one make just the worst decisions every step of the way, and then the motive and turning of the "bad guy" was so far out of left field- it was absurd. 

I really wanted to love this one and just didn't.
