Joyce Sison is thrilled by her university's annual gift-giving traditions when her Secret Santa ticks off every single item on her Christmas wish list. Going over and beyond the allotted budget for an inconspicuous Filipina immigrant on campus is completely unexpected, though stranger things have happened. Like her ultimate crush, star athlete Blaise 'The Blaze' Newton, breaking up with his long-time girlfriend Holly Bower over the summer. Or wild child Fallon Troland, Joyce's best friend, pulling a prank on the attention-seeking mean girl Caroline Hall during the cheerleading try-outs, only to make the team. But people like them regularly attract attention: a quality wallflowers like Joyce can do without.
When Blaise, and his ex's boy-next-door brother Don, both ask out Joyce days before the reveal, she concludes her Secret Santa could only be one of the two. Neither confesses to be the culprit, however, when the gifts turn from sweet to sinister. From there, her list of suspects only expands. So does her motley crew of amateur detectives, each dead-set on proving their innocence.
Life, however, is never as easy as it looks. Stakes rise higher when they realize this Secret Santa has plans not just for Joyce, but for the rest of them. Whoever it is hardly appreciates their hard work undermined by the very scapegoats they intend to take the blame. Not for a love of the Filipina, but for whatever it takes to win her heart.

I SAW SANTA KILL SOMEONE
Celeste Gray thought it would be nice to stay in a cabin in the woods. Being able to be alone, left with her thoughts, finding nature, and the nice cozy feeling of warmth were what she needed. Which led her to book/rent out a cabin for the whole month of December. Spending the holidays alone shouldn't be too bad. I mean, there's a reason she's alone in the first place; this is what she needed to move on with her life. So everything should be fine. Celeste was wrong about that because the moment she decided to take that trail in the woods, she knew she fucked up. Especially when she saw Santa Clause, not dropping off gifts, not with his reindeer or his sleigh, but standing over a dead body. She just saw Santa kill someone. Ji-Cheol Kim is not your average man, he does something for a living that is not for everyone, but someone has to do it, especially when it's getting justice in a way for people who deserve justice done that way. He was doing his job, which he is very good at when someone who wasn't supposed to be there ended up being there. Now his plans have changed, which led him to do something he doesn't mind doing, finally being able to spend the holidays with someone. Even if the person doesn't want that, she has no choice but to accept it. Neither of them was expecting this to happen. Two people from different worlds who ended up bumping into each other are now spending the holidays together. This was far from being a Christmas miracle.

Her best friend, Will, is certain it has to do with the guy she just started dating. Is Will jealous? Could her new boyfriend be involved? Or is it someone else entirely? Annie must find out quickly because every day could be her last. *** I could feel nothing but the pain. I felt every hit in excruciating detail with each erratic, painful heartbeat as my world became reduced to a series of agony. I struggled to breath through the broken ribs that constricted my airflow like a two-ton concrete slab had fallen on me. The blood from the blows to my head rolled down my face in waves. My arm was twisted at an impossible angle, yet I couldn't scream because my mouth would not open. I could feel the kicks coming at me from all directions, and as I received another one to the head I knew this was the end for me and my heartbeat slowed. The stab wound was bleeding too much for me to survive. When they left me for dead my eyes began to droop and the last thing I saw through fuzzy tunnel-like sight was a man running towards me before one final rattling breath coursed through my broken body and my heart stopped beating.Complete
