Forty-eight hours until Christmas, Jessica Kane wakes up with blurred vision, ears ringing, and in excruciating pain. A gash in her head and blood running down her face, the last thing she remembers is going for a run and something or someone hitting her in the head. It doesn’t take her long to realize she is trapped in an unknown, deserted town with five other strangers who share similar stories of being attacked and stranded there. Unsure why and how they got there, she knows one thing for certain, she has to find a way out. That becomes nearly impossible when someone is meticulously orchestrating their deaths, one by one, and the only thing Jessica can do is watch the life leave their eyes. The fenced-in town is the killer’s very own playground and there’s nowhere left to hide… she better watch out because she could be next.
I was so excited to read this since I was a big fan of Impractical Jokers. I was also surprised on the graphic horror of this! A great and gory slasher fast paced and with an original plot. I liked the premise of abducted strangers in a remote place trying to find out where they are and why they are here. The characters are easily identifiable, and each have a specific tone. I binged this book so fast I could not wait to see who the killer was.
4.5 star rating for this slasher novel. I wanted to give it five stars, but the only reason I dropped it down was because I did figure out who it was before the end. That aside, it was still a fantastic read. If you’re into thrillers with dark, suspenseful vibes and love a good plot twist, this one’s for you. Just be prepared for some gruesome moments—it’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s a fun, gripping read!
