4.5 stars! 🌟
Hannah has recently lost her fiancé after a fatal hiking adventure. Her best friend suggests going on a healing retreat to see if this will help her nightmares and hallucinations stop. But, what they find is that a killer is after their group of friends and they aren’t sure why.
This book is perfect for fans of thrillers, light gore, and suspense. It will keep you changing your mind on who is causing chaos until the very end.
This book starts off with a “what am I reading?!” kind of vibe and quickly settles you in to what Hannah is dealing with emotionally and mentally. I loved the guessing game throughout the book and the cat-and-mouse approach of a killer. The author displays wit in the writing and I found myself alternately tearing up, being annoyed, and even laughing out loud a few times — all within the characters’ personalities and depth. I appreciated the acknowledgment of colonialism’s impacts on Indigenous peoples and the dominance of white supremacy in healing spaces, land attainment, and cultural practices.
There was not anything I did not enjoy about this book and it has definitely made me interested in following this author and reading more.
