Blurb:


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.

My Review:

You Better Watch Out grabbed my attention on the first page and never let go from the first to the last. The suspense and the many twists kept me glued to my seat and the pages turning.

When I picked up You Better Watch Out I didn’t know what I would find between its pages but what I did find was way better than I expected. You Better Watch Out is the kind of story that you never want to see end but at the same time, it has you racing to the end, wanting to find out what happened and how they got there.

You Better Watch Out tells the story of several different people who are taken against their will to an unknown location that is surrounded by a fence with no way out.

But one thing is for sure they will not stop trying if it is the last thing they do. Finding a way out might cost them their lives. Someone is taking them out one by one and I don’t mean taking them out of the fence and letting them go home either.

Can they find a way out before it is their turn to go next? Can they find out who took them and why? Why were they brought there in the first place? They didn’t even know each other before they were brought there. Is there a connection between everyone? If so, what is it? So many questions I wanted answers to, questions that kept me hanging on page after page.

You Better Watch Out is a very engaging story I would like to see made into a TV show. You know You Better Watch Out reminds me of Harlan Coben stories.

I highly recommend You Better Watch Out if you like a good serial killer story! Grab a copy of You Better Watch Out today!
