About this audiobook

"A short and sweet slasher for anyone who’s already counting down the days until
Christmas. Barrie Kreinik’s narration takes this story to the next level, deftly switching
between characters and points of view as the story picks up pace, rushing toward its
spectacular surprising conclusion."—The Berkshire Eagle


This audiobook features bonus content with the authors, James L. Murray and Darren Wearmouth.

From international bestselling authors James S. Murray (better known as "Murr" on the hit TV show Impractical Jokers) and Darren Wearmouth, comes You Better Watch Out, a suspenseful, serial killer thriller that leaves you wondering, is Christmas really the best time of the year?

Forty-eight hours until Christmas, Jessica Kane wakes up with blurred vision, ears ringing, and in excruciating pain. A gash in her head and blood running down her face, the last thing she remembers is going for a run and something or someone hitting her in the head.

It doesn't take her long to realize she is trapped in an unknown, deserted town with five other strangers who share similar stories of being attacked and stranded there. Unsure why and how they got there, she knows one thing for certain, she has to find a way out.

That becomes nearly impossible when someone is meticulously orchestrating their deaths, one by one, and the only thing Jessica can do is watch the life leave their eyes.

The fenced-in town is the killer’s very own playground and there's nowhere left to hide... she better watch out because she could be next.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

2.5 out of 5 stars Thank you to NetGalley, and Macmillan Audio for this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Let me start with what I did enjoy. First, I thought the cover was extremely intriguing. It's what originally drew me in. I thought the concept of the novel was intriguing. I was able to find a single character to kind of root for. I thought the narrator did a nice job depicting the story and characters. I truly wish that I loved this book. I do believe that I find myself in the minority of those that didn't like the book. I thought that the book was just... okay until we got towards the end. I predicted the "twist" and did not like how the ending was resolved. It felt like the book remained unfinished to me. I thought the pacing was off. The beginning was, while intriguing, slow going. Then we hit the 70% ish mark and things started to pick up. My main issue is when there is 20% left. The twist and the ending left me unsatisfied. The book had quite a bit more gore than I was hoping for as well. I do think you would enjoy this if you liked Christmas themed thriller books with lots of gore. I thought the narrator did a good job of keeping things intriguing. If you like books with a cold, isolating setting this is probably the book for you. I did appreciate the impractical jokers aspect
