In this instant New York Times bestselling and “utterly addictive thriller” (Ana Reyes, New York Times bestselling author), a young author is invited to an exclusive writer’s retreat that soon descends into a pulse-pounding nightmare.
Alex has all but given up on her dreams of becoming a published author when she receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: attend an exclusive, month-long writing retreat at the estate of feminist horror writer Roza Vallo. Even the knowledge that Wren, her former best friend and current rival, is attending doesn’t dampen her excitement.
But when the attendees arrive, Roza drops a bombshell—they must all complete an entire novel from scratch during the next month, and the author of the best one will receive a life-changing seven-figure publishing deal. Determined to win this seemingly impossible contest, Alex buckles down and tries to ignore the strange happenings at the estate, including Roza’s erratic behavior, Wren’s cruel mind games, and the alleged haunting of the mansion itself. But when one of the writers vanishes during a snowstorm, Alex realizes that something very sinister is afoot. With the clock running out, she must discover the truth—or suffer the same fate.
A claustrophobic and “audacious psychological thriller debut” (Publishers Weekly), The Writing Retreat expertly explores the dark side of female relationships, fame, and the desire to have our stories told.

well, where to start? this book has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time collecting dust and I had seen that the author was coming out with a new book this year, so I wanted to read this one first now the book itself wasn’t bad, but it felt very much like I read a Kate Alice Marshall book with more of a boring plot line. Not saying that the book wasn’t good. It just wasn’t a book for me. It had a lot to do with being a lesbian and finding out your sexuality and learning about yourself in essence and it had a lot of good undertones. I just don’t know if it was executed the best. The book was an interesting ending with you know the message from Rosie it just all in all was an OK book as mean, as that is, I would definitely read something else by this author, but it wasn’t something that lived up to the cover.
