FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR


**********

FOUR WOMEN.

Orly, Lenny, Mel and Thea have been best friends since school. But now it is 20 years later and inevitably they have drifted apart.

ONE WEEKEND.

It is Lenny's 40th birthday, plus Orly and Mel need cheering up, so Thea suggests a weekend away at a festival in their hometown. It's a chance for them all to reconnect.

NOT ALL OF THEM WILL SURVIVE.

But their holiday soon takes a sinister turn, and not all of the friends will leave the festival alive...

Critic reviews

"Dazzlingly inventive." (Sunday Times)

"A meticulously plotted exploration of friendship, foe-ship and the lies that bind, which builds to a gripping and powerful conclusion." (Cara Hunter)

"The perfect dose of thrills and suspense, this will keep you engrossed to the very end." (Heat)

This was a good story, but I didn't like what Orlie did, no matter how badly someone treats you, that's not on. As for one of the others who isn't what they seem... But I do like books involving groups of friends like this.

Felt there was a large section where very little happened and found it quite dull.
At time the narration sounded robotic or Alexa like!

Slow

I started this book after having heard a preview. To say the preview was misleading is an understatement. I expected a thrilling book set in a novel setting. When really nothing truly happens until the last hour and a half or so. The ending could still have redeemed it as it is still a well enough written book, I was able to picture the 4 friends and their lives. Sadly the ending just didn't deliver for me. By no means is this a bad book but it's for the most part quite dull, leaving all the action to feel packed in whatever time is left and the ending to feel pretty unsatisfactory.

I hate to say it but.... mediocre
