Title: The Writing Retreat
Author: Julia Bartz
Genre: Thriller
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.
This book is just bonkers, and I absolutely loved it. It’s one that just could never happen, but it was so much fun to discover who was on what side, the secrets each character was hiding, and to see how everything came together. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as much as I did.
The main character, Alex, is chosen to go on a writer’s retreat with her favorite author. Ultimately, the writer who has produced the best book will get it published. Then Alex’s frenemy shows up. Then mysterious things start happening, then everything falls apart. This book has a great plot but also has an excellent atmosphere. The house the writers are staying in is very creepy, and then the snow hits leaving them isolated. As the book progresses, the craziness ramps up, and I couldn’t read fast enough. What a fun ride!
