I'll Be Alone for Christmas

Holidays & Homicides, Book 1

By: Kristin Mulligan

Narrated by: Sarah Naughton

Romee's winter break was planned out months ahead. A week at a cabin in the woods sounded romantic, and maybe it was just what her boyfriend of two years needed to pop the question.

Instead, he proposed they break up, a week before they were destined to wake up Christmas morning, happier than ever. Heartbroken but undaunted, Romee embarks on a solitary journey to the remote cabin, yearning for peace and closure in the tranquil snowscape. Six nights of isolation, wine, and TV shows seemed like the perfect remedy for a breakup.

Yet, from the moment she arrives, an ominous presence clings to her. The house is old, creaking and shifting, as if harboring another occupant. Bizarre occurrences escalate as each day passes, blurring the line between reality and a nightmare, making her question everything. She is alone, right?

When Romee decides it's time to leave the vacation rental early, it's already too late. Snowed in and unable to escape, she has to survive the frigid conditions and limited resources... And the possibility that someone sees her when she's sleeping and knows when she's awake.

I'll Be Alone for Christmas is a suspenseful novella filled with terror, a dash of gore, and packed with Christmas spirit.

Frequent Air B&Bers beware

Truly enjoyed this nightmare before Christmas story. Well written and suspenseful. Was not expecting this school teacher to survive.

So good

This was a jam packed interesting listen. Quick and full of a lot that happens. It was very enjoyable.

Yellow Mug. BLUE MUG?! It's Yellow AGAIN!

4.5 STARS!
This is a good Christmas thriller novella!
I absolutely loved it! The FMC [Romee] is away in a cabin for the holiday.
She would have gone with her boyfriend but after a breakup she decided to still go, but alone.
Romee is also such a smart person that when she notices small details different from how she left it alarm bells start to sound in her mind.
She doesn't know who is doing it and she thinks it might all be in her head.
Eventually she decides she needs to cut her trip early but it is to late and the snow storm keeps her trapped. That is when the "murder" comes out to play.
She must fight her way through the night. Having 911 on the phone with her helping her as best they can until an officer can finally reach her through the snow storm.
Kristin is such a great author and I knew I had to pay attention to every thing she wrote because it is never a mistake! The way I did NOT see the plot twist towards the end and the way I was yelling and screaming to cheer Romee on to survive! Absolutely an incredible thriller holiday novella.
