  • Short and Creepy
This was good, perfect for the holiday season! It’s really short and I honestly didn’t know where it was going for most of it but the last chapter kind of tied everything together. I love Freida thrillers so it’s certainly got me in the mood for one again.

  • Freida always delivers!
Short and creepy? Check! A great short read to kick off the New Year. I would’ve loved one more chapter from Stella’s point of view, but I’m not disappointed with the quick read.

  • Never trust old ladies
This was an easy read, but nothing too crazy. I enjoyed the ending more than the water of it. I felt really bad for Stella. Honestly, she did Helga's daughter a favor by killing Justin. But I also don't quite understand why she killed him, i would have taken the watch and chain, then kicked his sorry lazy ass out. She didn't seem unhinged, so I'm not sure why she would have snapped and killed him, thus the three star rating. ... show more

  • Likable story
Super short, but I enjoyed it. The ending was pretty interesting. Not every Christmas themed book has to be holly and jolly, right? And this story was just the right amount of darkness for my taste.

  • Short story!
I read The Gift and in *only* 50 pages FM has all my emotions going from 🥰 to 🤬. Lots of twists and turns in a short story. You really packed all the feels in 50 pages, FM. This was good.

  • Quick Read
This is a very quick read. I wasn’t expecting the twist at the end so that made it a good story. Wish it was a little longer but I like that everything was explained. I gave it four stars because she created a full story with a twist in 47 pages.
