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 show more 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.
