A group of friends + an isolated Scottish island = a girl’s weekend gone wrong.
A group of friends get together for a weekend away. It is a chance to reconnect, to kept up on old times and to fill each other in on what has occurred in their lives since they last saw each other. Sounds like a wonderful time to me. Except these friends have secrets!
I immediately was drawn to this book with its trapped feeling of being on an island when things start to go wrong. It sounded right up my alley, and the later part of the book was just that. But the beginning of the book was SLOW. I struggled with getting into this book but kept going based on the glowing reviews I read. The first 50% was too slow for me, but then things began to ramp up and the last half of the book was where the magic, or shall I say, mayhem happens. Things go from bad to worse.
This was my first book by P.R. Black, and I would happily read another book by this author. I just wish the beginning of the book worked more for me. I struggle with getting into slower burn beginnings and this was the case here.
Others enjoyed this book more than I did, so please read their reviews as well. I also listened to the audiobook and always wonder if I would have enjoyed the book more had I read it and not listened to it.
