About this ebook

A deserted island, a vicious storm, a murderer amongst friends...

It was meant to be a fun reunion, a chance for six friends to reconnect and relive the adventures that brought them together in the first place. But from the moment they arrive on their island home for the weekend, Lyndsey, Sonia, Bobbie, Amanda, Juliet, and Val realise that their paradise is filled with peril, and there are consequences when you try to outrun the ghosts of your past.

As everything starts to fall apart, and the friends begin to turn against one another, deep, dark secrets are revealed, and an unimaginable horror is unleashed. They came seeking adventure, but now they’ll be lucky to leave with their lives...

The Weekend Escape by Rakie Bennett Time to renew friendships on an isolated island should sound like fun but all six in the group have misgivings that prove valid as the weekend progresses. There is definitely one person on the island motivated to kill but which one is it and why are they moved by deadly intent? What I liked: * The location * Building of atmosphere through weather and unfolding events * Back story hints about the characters and their past together * Considering who the murderer might be * Feeling this was a book best geared to YA//NA readers * The building of tension as the story progressed * The ending…I think? What I didn’t like: * All six of the women on the island – hard to relate to any of them * The rather enigmatic ending that left me wondering what was and was not true Did I enjoy this book? It was okay – I tend to avoid YA/NA books and this story had that feel Would I read more by this author? Maybe Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for the ARC – This is my honest review. 3-4 Stars

I couldn't put this book down . I love this kind of storyline. A group of friends go on a holiday to a remote place and one of them is a murderer.
