Tinsel, Blood and Bone
Christmas at Blackthorne Estate is always suffocating. This year, it turns deadly.
After six years of estrangement, forensic psychologist Avery Blackthorne returns to her wealthy family’s secluded mountain manor, summoned by a cryptic message from her
“Come home. Christmas Eve. I know the truth.”
But when she arrives, her father is dead, her siblings are uncharacteristically warm, and someone is restaging old family Christmas photographs with disturbing, lifelike precision.
The deeper Avery digs, the more horrifying the truth becomes. Someone in the house knows what really happened to her little brother all those years ago, and they’re determined to finish what began in blood.
A chilling psychological Christmas thriller about memory, manipulation, and the families who bury their sins under tinsel and tradition.

ZERO stars actually..
There are several sections that are literally copy & paste. I thought I scrolled bak on my kindle by accident, but no.. it was the same 3-4 pages I read 5 pages ago. This is awful. It’s drug out for no rhyme or reason. 🙄🙄
The characters don’t make any sense. Starts off with father dying, but 70% in he’s alive again. An actual brother becomes a BIL. A family photographer at some point becomes a brother. 🤔🤔
From what I gathered, the family was doing illegal business and the brother/BIL and they killed the brother/BIL person. Idk.. I skimmed the last 30%
Would NOT recommend this to anyone nor will I read anything else by this author.
