A Christmas Psychological Thriller Short Story

It’s Christmas Eve, and Maisie is convinced her boyfriend, Lucas, is totally going to propose. The cookies are baked, the mood is set, and her ring finger is perfectly poised. But when a confused elderly woman wanders into their home and claims it as her own, the couple’s plans are quickly thwarted.

Brimming with tension, suspense, and holiday cheer, this twisted short story is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Daniel Hurst.

So good

Possibly one of the best short stories. Story, narration, everything—just excellent 10/10. No notes

Dark and twisty!

At the end of this you’re going to be like wait that’s it… I need more and possibly wondering wth?! It just dives right in with twists you won’t see coming and an ending to leave you with your mouth hanging open. After the momentary shock of the ending and it being over so fast, you may even find yourself chuckling if you have a dark sense of humor like myself. It will definitely have you wondering about how easily trust is given and how in an instant everything can change. I loved it!
This is great if you’re looking for a VERY quick, psychological thriller, that’s twisty and dark. It’s not a romance and if you’re looking for an HEA this isn’t that book. While it’s a great thriller for any of time of the year with it taking place around the holidays this would also be a perfect seasonal read too.

The narration performed in duet by Savannah Thomas and Joe Arden was great. As always, they did amazing bringing the characters and story to life. With their incredible skills and range as voice actors they can do so many characters and genres very well.

What did I listen to?

What was that?! So much happens in these 30 minutes! I hope we get more from this! Savannah and Joe were great as usual. Well worth the listen!

WTF!!!

This tale small but mighty!!! Wow! That ending! I was shook!!! I definitely wasn’t expecting that ending.!

Holy crap

WTF DID I JUST LISTEN IT WAS INCREDIBLE SOOOO GRIPPING 10 stars Joe arden is the freaking GOAT HIGHLYRECOMMEND
