21 posts | 20 read | 54 to read
A novel full of twists, surprising turns, and suspense, Dying for Christmas is Tammy Cohen's most disturbing psychological thriller yet. Out Christmas shopping one December afternoon, Jessica Gould meets the charming Dominic Lacey and impulsively agrees to go home with him for a drink. What follows is a Twelve Days of Christmas from hell as Lacey holds Jessica captive, forcing her to wear his missing wifes gowns and eat lavish holiday meals. Each day he gifts her with one item from his twisted pasthis dead sisters favorite toy, disturbing family photos, a box of teeth. As the days pass and the gifts become darker and darker, Jessica realizes that Lacey has a plan for her, and he never intends to let her go. But Jessica has a secret of her own a secret that may just mean she has a chance to make it out alive.

A Christmas thriller. Two different parts. It was a good book but not great. I missed suspense and action there. The story itself was great, but incomplete.

Jessica Gold is being held captive by a outwardly charming narcissist. He is sadistic & cruel, & Jessica‘s health is starting to suffer. Yet Jessica may survive - after all, she knows something he doesn‘t.

The first two thirds of the book are compelling, but the ending veers into frankly ridiculous territory. 3.5🌟

My #HolidayTradition (winter tradition) is to drunk tea in winter or holiday inspired mugs. This one has an illustration of Rudolf. And I am drinking #ChristmasTea (mix of orange, apple, cinnamon, white chocolate).

Dec #BookSpinBingo A disturbing thriller so I needed my Halloween pasta given by @feskner #HauntedHallowedSwap Not much to say without spoil the story. If you liked I let you Go, maybe you‘ll like this one. I didn‘t see some twists coming, others were obvious, others too unrealistic but it kept my reading interest. You can see in real world some of these antisocial personality traits. Book was by @chrissyreadit #StuffedstockingSwap 2018 3.5⭐️ 👇

Gissy There are some serious triggers here: incest, sexual and physical abuse, sexual abuse, sadism, self harm behavior.

Chrissyreadit I wish I did a better job keeping track of who all my books are from. Someday I will go backwards and try to do it. How is everything in PR? 4y

Gissy @Chrissyreadit I am trying to place a small post it sticky note inside the book. Sometimes I forgot and then I have to look the photos. I wish I could remember everything but that is impossible.One of my goals this year was to read more books from those received in swaps. They are books I wanted to read and they are special in the way I received them, no matter if at the end they are so-so because I wanted to discover that by myself, thanks agai❤️ 4y
Chrissyreadit @Gissy that‘s a great idea! And I agree! I feel like the books I‘ve been given through litsy are very special!! 4y
ferskner Eeeee they're so cute! 4y
maich I totally agree with you. Miss some twist in this story. 4y

By the title I was hoping this was going to be a seasonal read but you could read this any time of the year, theres very little Christmas here.

Still not sure how the cover relates, but I was pleasantly surprised by this Christmas thriller!

Josie I hate when covers don't match up to the story! What's the point in that? 8y
BookswithB @Josie right?! So weird. 8y

Finished this in 2 days but it fell short for me. I keep thinking that it didn't all add up - there would be too many clues pointing to what really happened. And I hated the ending.

MyNamesParadise Good to know! I just checked it out from the library! 8y

I prefer physical books, but my #ereader allows me to carry around a bazillion books at a time all the time, and that makes me ridiculously happy.

I'm enjoying reading this Christmas mystery. I think it's going to pick up soon...wish the main character would've listened to her instincts!

This book was not what I expected and I am satisfied with how it turned out. I loved the Christmas theme and the mystery behind what happened to Jessica.

When Jessica decides to go home for a drink with a man she just met, she knows she's taking a risk. But she doesn't realize just how bad it is until he tells her he's not letting her leave, and proceeds to hold her captive. This novel is bizarre and twisted, but if you love weird psychological thrillers, you'll likely really enjoy it -- I couldn't put it down.

Gissy I will like to read it but sounds creepy! 😳 I'm a chicken person when books are to creepy but it says a psychological thriller which I love! What a mix feelings to read it or not to read it, that...is the question! 8y
