The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz

mysterious slow-paced

3.0

Two use to be friends, now rival writers find themselves as contestants for a writing retreat with the author of their dreams. However, this is not an easy breezy retreat, there are requirements to be met, challenges to overcome, and the ever changing temperment of their host. Will they meet the deadline or will they die trying?

Gothic manor- check
Ghost stories- check
Twists and turns- check and check

The novel is easily read, quick paced, and greatly enjoyable. Do not go into this thinking it is some great american novel, this is more your crime drama or thriller tv show but in text. Sit back, drink your tea and enjoy the ride that is The Writing Retreat.
