Before the vacation is over one of them will be dead.

BOOK REVIEW


This is a wonderfully suspenseful murder mystery/thriller that puts a whole new face on holiday fiction. The twists and turns do not stop, and everyone seems to be harboring a secret. The Silver family seems too good to be true, and they are! This book takes the phrase “things are not what they seem” to a whole new level. Talk about an unhappy holiday! If you want to read some unique holiday fiction, give this one a try.
I received a free copy of this book via Zooloo’s Book Tours. My review is voluntary and the opinions are my own.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I’ll let you into a little secret… Mikayla Davids isn’t my real name, it’s just the pen name I write under. I could be the person sitting opposite you on the train, furiously tapping away at a laptop, or the woman scribbling in a notebook on the table beside you in Starbucks. Everyone has their secrets. And this is mine.
But I will tell you I’ve lived and breathed fictional worlds all my life. I’ve been the child who spent hours in the library, the teenager who stayed up turning pages way into the night, the editor who poured every working hour into helping authors achieve their dreams of being published. Now I’m the secret writer.
I write psychological thrillers about family dramas, complicated relationships and ordinary moments that can suddenly turn into nightmares.

Okay, absolutely love the cover and concept of the book – absolutely intrigued by Mikayla (I have a daughter, Kayla, but that’s her real name haha). THE mystery author. Fabulous!

I love the idea of reading a mystery/thriller with a Christmas theme. It would make a good contrast to all the sweet heartwarming Christmas books.
