When vengeance is not a good thing
This book is sweet, funny and suspense. I enjoyed reading this story. Vengeance is not good when you used it in a bad way. Life is sometimes not fair especially when losing someone we dearly loved. It can kill us seriously if we do not want to move on. Blood is always thicker than water. Family should always be there for each other in good times or bad times. Alcohol is a good thing if you do not overdo it. It can make you relax but at the same time makes you do things bad. Love will always prevail. This story will make you jump on your seat.

KILLER RESOLUTIONS
By Elizabeth McKenna
This book was an exciting fast paced read because you wanted to know who did it. It reminded of a book I read long ago, “And Then There Were None”, where each of the characters were being killed off one by one and nobody knew who the killer could be.
In “Killer Resolutions”, there was a similarity and this time they even began to accuse each other.
It all begins when a group of College friends get together and celebrate and drink to bring in the New Year. As does sometimes happen, Rob’s girlfriend, Crystal has way too much to drink for her body type and ends up succumbing to alcohol poisoning. Rob had stepped out to do a favor during the moment she passed and had asked his sister and friends to watch over her. His grief tears him apart and it is apparent that it is hard for him to move on from the now lost love of his life. Does he silently resent his own sister and friends for the death of his girlfriend?
Over the next five years, everyone goes on to lead their lives and plan a five year Reunion at a lodge in northern Wisconsin. They all take time out of their busy lives to meet up again and try to heal the shattered friendships that tragically happened five years before.
There is a horrible Blizzard and they all end up stuck indoors despite all the fun outdoor activities they had planned. Slowly the past of that night of Crystal’s death resurges when odd events begin to occur. And then, one by one they begin dying. Who is responsible? Is it a serial killer, someone they know or has the past come back to haunt them?
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author and tour company. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

This was a great read!! I love nothing more than a good mystery with just enough thrill to keep me on the edge of my seat and turning the pages. This was exactly that!
I will admit, the ending felt a little abrupt, but overall, I really enjoyed the read.
The story starts 5 years prior with the death within a tight knit group of friends who, in current times, are meeting back up after not speaking for the past 5 years.
While something feels off, all is well until one member of the party goes missing, following some… random… deaths. With only so many suspects to choose from, we start narrowing it down with who is remaining, who we don’t know and who has died.
I will say, my original guess had 3 (out of 8 people to start) people that quickly dwindled to two, but I my honest feel did not turn out correct. (And I had amazing reasoning for this person being the killer!!)
Overall, a great story and amazing mystery! I would definitely read more mysteries from this author – she did amazing!

Killer Resolutions is another exciting suspense filled mystery by Elizabeth McKenna. She takes readers on a thrilling ride with this book. Dani and her friends find themselves in the state of Wisconsin at a secluded lodge for a New Year’s celebration. The festivities soon turn sour and things quickly go downhill when a blizzard strands them in the lodge. Suddenly, Dani’s friends are being killed. She panics who do not know who the killer is or she can turn to. Will she be able to trust anyone? Will she find out who is the murderer before she becomes a victim herself?
I thought Killer Resolutions was a pretty good book. I did not find it to be predictable and was surprised who the killer was in the end. There is quite a bit of twists and turns that left my head spinning. I never knew what was going to happen next. There were a few scenes that I had a hard time following, but was quickly able to catch on and keep turning the pages. It is not a long book, so I had no problem reading in a just a few hours – hours well spent.
I give Killer Resolutions four and a half stars. I would love to read more like this one by Elizabeth McKenna in the future. She is gifted mystery writer and want to see where else her imagination will take her readers to next. I believe many mystery fans will want to pick this one up.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
