Charlie has meticulously rebuilt her life after a brutal attack at her college and just wants to keep moving forward. When a movie is about to be made about her events of that night, dubbed scarlet Christmas, Charlie would do anything to keep that from happening. Desperately trying to regain her memories about that night and putting a stop to the movie Charlie has to finally confront her past and face what actually happened that night.

I’ve had my eye on this book for a while and when I saw the ALC available on NetGalley I jumped to request it. Marisa Calin does a great job giving each of the characters distinct voices. The timeline jumps between Charlies time at college before the attack and after once she learns that the movie is about to be made. It took a long time to actually find out what happened and I was in suspense the entire time. However once the reveal was actually made I wasn’t overly impressed. The story overall is intriguing but I wasn’t blown away by the reveal which I felt like was just information the author was withholding until the last moment. I felt like I was listening just to get to the end of the story to get the whole picture. I think this would be great for someone just getting into thrillers, but if you’ve read quite a few this might be a little predictable for you. I did enjoy the epilogue and being able to catch up wth some characters who didn’t get a lot of story time earlier in the book.

Everyone who can forgive me is dead publishes on February 6th. Thank you to Macmillan Audio, NetGalley and Jenny Hollander for this ALC.
