Summary
From the Sunday Times bestselling author
'TIS THE SEASON TO BE WARY
When Ashley Smith - a bright-eyed but lonely American studying in London - is invited to spend Christmas with her classmate's family at their Cotswolds manor house, it seems like a perfect country idyll. And for Ashley - who records it all in her diary - there's the added romantic potential of her friend's twin brother, Adam, who she thinks could be her wildest dream come true. But is there something strange about the old house, both stately and rundown? What could the motives of the mysterious Chapman family be? And what holiday horrors might be lying in wait?

Pages rustling
The story is good, and keeps the interest throughout, however whether intentional or not the pages rustling through the diary read are so distracting.

This was a total wast of my time and my money
I gave up, I simply could not finish it. Also, I have enjoyed good narrators, this was certainly not the case.

It was ok
Part one was good but didn’t enjoy the second part. It could have ended sooner
