"The Christmas party" is an excellent literary debut by Mikayla Davids. I literally could not tear myself away from reading. The gripping plot did not let me go. Fast-paced action and its twists are something I love. Mikayla Davids knows how to completely surprise the reader.
When reading "The Christmas party" I did not expect that it was a literary debut. I was pleasantly surprised.
I told myself that in November I would not read Christmas novels. And what did I do? I broke down and read the book in a very wintery atmosphere.
Here I met:
Erin Bailey-Scott and her husband Aaron. This woman has not spoken to her two sisters and mother for 10 years. Why? What happened? Will a Christmas party in her own hotel change anything? Erin has two children - twins Ophelia and Jasper. Together with her husband, they own the Burcott House Hotel. Something about this character didn't sit right with me. It's worth getting to know her.
Sasha Bailey - has a nine-year-old daughter Freya and a husband Jess. She is the deputy headmistress of an elementary school. She is two years older than her sister Erin. This character is likeable.
Lea is four years younger than Erin. She is an influencer. What did this girl get herself into? Why did she distance herself from Erin?
Nadia was a single mother raising her three daughters. She can't come to terms with the fact that she hasn't had contact with her middle daughter for 10 years.
Jesse is really irritated by his own wife Sasha. He worries about her. He wants her to slow down and rest a bit. This character really irritated me.
Erin and Aaron are throwing a Christmas party. This time, they decided to invite Erin's family. Will they find common ground after ten years?
I'll tell you a secret, a tragedy will happen at this party. It's worth reading "The Christmas party" to find out what exactly happened and who was to blame.
I would love to know the further fate of the characters in this book.
"The Christmas party" is a great Christmas thriller that you should not miss.
This novel will stay with me for a long time.
