What a great way to end 2025! I devoured this book in one sitting and I loved it. Especially the main novella. The characters were well fleshed out (as always in Sonnets books) and the plot was full of tension, disturbing scenes and fun! The role play sex scene was my favourite, I think! That one was so original and charming!
Five stars for this fantastic read.
Highly recommended!

Another banger from Sonnet, really grooving on her latest work.
The title novella is an excellent slasher with just the right amount of gore, sex, and thrills. Great fun even if I knew how it would end.

I absolutely LOVED Unhappy New Year by Judith Sonnet. Being a fan of gory slashers like the Terrifier, I honestly think that Judith did such a great job writing this gruesome sorority house slasher. I really enjoyed reading this one. It was the perfect book for my first read of the year! Especially with the extra short stories at the end, those were all individually great as well!
I really enjoyed the concept of this story. Without spoilers, I can’t say much, but I did not expect the plot twist. At all. I love a book that I can’t predict exactly what is going to happen, and Judith did a great job hiding the truth in this one! I also think that Judith did a really good job writing these characters. Big Vic is one hell of a killer! He doesn’t care what kind of messes he makes, and I loved that. The gorier the better.
Unhappy New Year is very well put together, very gory, very unpredictable! I definitely recommend this to any horror fan! Especially if you love gore and slasher films!

Judith Sonnet never misses! This sorority house slasher was awesome and filled with blood and gore. When Big Vic comes you better run! He'll rip you apart with his bare hands.
