The story starts with an internal monologue from Harriet, who is lying in a pool of her own blood, trying to work out who could be responsible for her murder.

We follow her main suspects and go over their actions from the day leading up to the murder. Following each character closely you feel like a fly on the wall watching their every move and unraveling each motive.

I found it fast paced and suspenseful. Each character account built on the story, interconnecting at parts, and the twists kept me hooked. 

Another great book by Nicola Moriarty.

Thank you to netgalley and penguin random house for this ARC.

Freida always makes you question reality and throws in twists you never see coming. 

I will say, I found the characters quite unlikeable, but the plot was enjoyable and I didn't know which way it was going to go. 

It was a quick enjoyable read that kept me on my toes while reading it.

I love the twisted tales series. This is a great twist on Nightmare Before Christmas. Sally longs for adventure and instead of Jack finding Christmas Town like in the movie, it is Sally. 

I love the building of Sally and Jacks friendship and that Zero is included in the adventure as well. The writing matched the style of the film so it was easy to picture the story.
