A review by soft_girl_era
The Weekend Away by Sarah Alderson

mysterious tense

4.0

《 4 ✰ 》???

I don't know how to rate this book. I am just going to hit you with my thoughts…

1. I stayed up all night to finish in one sitting. 
2. I did get frustrated with the FMC a couple of times for how she reacted or didn’t react, BUT it never took away from my interest in the story. 
3. I initially guessed the killer correctly, but Alderson did a fantastic job of thwarting me. My list would have looked like, 
  • him
  • no him
  • ah-ha it’s him
  • him?
  • OMFG HIM!!! 😳🫨😱
4. My jaw was on the floor on that last page. 😦

Exactly how I felt at the end of the movie Primal Fear with Richard Gere and Edward Norton. When he asks about her neck! OR The movie Just Cause when Sean Connery realizes the truth!


Ooh and another creepy moment was the secret room with Sebastian. It reminded me of watching that scene in Sliver with William Baldwin and Sharon Stone.

🎧 The audiobook was well-narrated.
