Hollywood actress, Olivia (Liv) Reed, is ready for a break. She had a recent breakdown after being dragged through the tabloids. Her publicists# knows just what she needs – a remote spiritual retreat called the House of Light. There she can do self-reflection, meditate, practice yoga, and rest.
Ava, a local, informs her that the retreat near Seneca Lake, NY has a dark and deadly past. Young woman with connections to the retreat have been committing suicide. No one believes that the spiritual retreat could be involved, but Liv begins to have doubts. Using a podcast, Liv uses the platform to get to the truth.
But will the truth set her free or put her in danger?
I thought I would love this book. The premise was enticing, and I quite enjoy books told through podcasts. But this wasn’t entirely told through the p0dcast – although that was my favorite part. We see Liv and her time at the retreat, her thoughts, her past and the ‘mistakes/choices’ she made in her life.
There are some positives to the book, mainly the podcasts, and threads, but it also was slow in parts, and I wanted it to hurry up and get going. I put this in the liked not loved category.
