Plot:
Twelve clues. Twelve keys. Twelve days of Christmas. But how many will die before Twelfth Night?
The annual Christmas Game is afoot at Endgame House, the Armitages’ grand family home. This year’s prize is to die for–deeds to the house itself–but Lily Armitage has no intention of returning. She hasn’t been back to Endgame since her mother died, twenty-one years ago, and she has no intention of claiming the house that haunts her dreams.
Until, that is, she receives a letter from her aunt promising that the game’s riddles will give her the keys not only to Endgame, but to its darkest secrets, including the identity of her mother’s murderer.
Now, Lily must compete with her estranged cousins for the twelve days of Christmas. The snow is thick, the phone lines are down, and no one is getting in or out. Lily will have to keep her wits about her, because not everyone is playing fair, and there’s no telling how many will die before the winner is declared.
Review:
This did get too repetitive and I didn’t enjoy the riddles as they were very twisted.
But it was interesting for a murder mystery set at the time of Christmas until throughout the New Year.
Lily is the main character. She’s to inherit this Endgame House which she doesn’t want but she wants to find out who and why her mum died or got killed. Taking part in the game is how she can find out.
People start dying during the games. I hated Sara so much and trusted no-one. Lily is told to trust NOONE. But what does she do, she trusts them anyway. For someone that’s pregnant she’s reallllly super careful. Who goes out into the freezing snow blizzard when they are basically half way through pregnancy?!
The story was interesting, the characters were annoying. I still enjoyed it.
