So well written. It had me racing through and nearly having a meltdown when my Kindle stopped working with two chapters to go! Finished it on my phone as couldn't wait to see how it ended. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a thriller as intoxicating as The Hunting Wives, emotionally raw as It Ends With Us, and as claustrophobically intense as The Shining or Hush... then THE 3RD GIFT is your next obsession!
A.G. Mock has done it again! The character development is flawless; the storyline and plot are ferocious and unforgiving. With short explosive 31 chapters you will stay up way past your bedtime saying, "just one more chapter!" until before you know it you've reached the "how the heck did I miss that!" mind-blowing twists happening in your head.
As the 3 gifts are delivered–Will Ria and Josh be able to save their troubled marriage? Or will "till death do us part" have the final say?

This book should come with a warning: Do not start reading this late at night or you will stay up until it's done! It's the definition of "just 1 more chapter" (or 15). You won't need coffee or energy drinks to make it to the end of this beast of a book! You will lose track of time.

Josh and Maria have had a rough patch in their marriage and do what any sensible couple does in their situation - move to a new area to start fresh. As soon as they arrive, they receive an invitation to one of their neighbor's Christmas party. The party oozes wealth and privilege. Over champagne and shrimp (or prawns) from the Shetlands (obviously), small talk quickly escalates into a game that will change their lives forever. Their fractured marriage is barely held together by a tiny thread and as they spiral into the game, it quickly becomes apparent that the choices made have severe and lasting consequences.

As usual, the writing is sharp and the tension abounds. I'm sure my kindle has indentations from gripping it so tightly. I've got my chiropractor appointment scheduled later to treat my whiplash and to reset my jaw from the floor.

Don't miss out on this one!

The 3rd Gift just became my favorite A.G book. Hands down one of the best Christmas thrillers I've ever read.. The suspense is high. Told from a POV that I found so unique. This story is told flawlessly and just oh my. Fantastic Mock!!!

A.G. Mock turns a holiday party into a nightmare wrapped in red ribbons and razor sharp secrets. Twists hit like snowballs to the face, loyalties shift constantly, and a failing marriage, three unsettling gifts, and a blizzard that seems downright malicious make this a holiday thriller you won’t forget. Perfect for anyone who likes their festive cheer with a wicked grin.

Wow, this is easily one of my favourite reads of the year!

If you look up the definition of 'just one more chapter,' I'm sure you'll find The 3rd Gift there. I could have read this in one sitting if real life hadn't gotten in the way!

Josh and Maria have just moved to a new neighbourhood. They accept an invitation to a neighbour's holiday party. What they expected was champagne and small talk; what they got was so much more!

Their marriage is already fractured, so when they accepted a gifted trip from their neighbours to a remote cabin and got caught in a blizzard, is this a romantic getaway opportunity or part of a twisted game they entered into at the eccentric party? As the blizzard cuts them off from the rest of humanity and the cryptic lure of three gifts plays out, every minute draws them closer to an unbelievable showdown.

With twists and turns aplenty, your heart will be in your mouth, your jaw quite literally on the floor! This is the season for giving after all, and A G Mock gave this his absolute all. Grab a copy today; you won't regret it.

“The 3rd Gift” by A. G. Mock is an absolute ride from start to finish. Mock does it again—another dark masterpiece. I couldn’t put this book down; it's intense, gripping, and packed with lies, deception, and tension that never lets up. And of course, the one trigger I have shows up in this story, but it was so compelling that I pushed through and survived it. A dark, twisty, unforgettable read!
