Book Review: Better Watch Out

 

I’m supposed to be suffering through Christmas with my dad.
Not stuck in our family lodge with my worst nightmares at the door.

When a snowstorm hits days before Christmas and I’m the only one at the house, I’m quickly informed that I’ll be spending Christmas alone, with only my dog for company, but that’s before things take a turn for the worse.

I never would have come if I’d known they’d be here.

Fletcher and Boone, my stepbrothers, were never the family I’d hoped for. They’re the reason I ran away, the ghosts that haunt my sleep. I was promised they’d be too busy to come to the cabin this year, but someone broke that promise.

Now they’re here, standing at my door, intent on making sure I never forget why I left.

What should have been an uneasy Christmas with my dad and stepmom spirals into a game of cat and mouse, as Fletcher and Boone remind me exactly why I fled. With the storm trapping us high in the mountains, there’s nowhere for me to run. And the worst part? They’re determined to make me suffer for forcing them to wait so long to play.

But all I have to do is survive until the storm lets up.
That’s what I keep telling myself, anyway.



My Review

Conor was expecting a nice, quiet Christmas by herself in the cabin in the woods. What she did not expect was her two stepbrothers to appear on the doorstep. At first, I thought Boone was the more unhinged/dominant one, but Fletcher is right up there. The two took turns calling the shots. 

Both Fletcher and Boone are good. I thought they were a nice balance to each other. When they finally got Conor in their grasp and taught her lessons, that was HOT. I liked Conor and her snarky attitude.

Do you like dark romances? How about taboo reads? What about forced proximity? If you answered yes to any of these or yes to all three, then, you are going to want to read this novella. This novella will have you on the "naughty" list, which is not a bad thing.  

BETTER WATCH OUT is a standalone, MMF, dark Christmas novella. For a more detailed warning, please use the 'look inside' feature, as this book may have elements you might enjoy.
