The Traitors

Six invitations have been received. If they spend the night in Beechwood Castle, which is notorious for several murders, they have a chance to win a portion of a million dollars! It’s that simple – spend the evening. But is it really that easy??? Not so much! When the six people (Penelope, Staci, Bonnie, Cornelius, Lolly, & Rad) arrive they are informed that one in their midst is an imposter, and all of them are traitors. After their meeting and introductions, it becomes clear that some of them are connected in some way.

I enjoyed the atmosphere in this book. A crumbling manor home with a dark history! It had me right there. People must spend the night in this creepy setting! Buckle me in, I’m ready to take this ride. I enjoyed the trapped feeling of the book. Being alone in a creepy house and wondering why each of you was invited. ding ding ding, this is right up my alley.

I enjoyed the tension, the mounting sense of dread and the feeling of not knowing who can be trusted really worked for me. When night falls, they feel the chill in the air, shivers will go up their spines as a simple night in a manor becomes a nightmare.

I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narration. The book is told through the POVs of the characters, and I appreciated that there was no confusion about whose POV was being told. Readers learn more about the characters, their pasts, why they accepted the invitation and their attempts to figure out whodunit.

Tense, chilling, and atmospheric
