This week I'm featuring Vacation Friends by Christy Barritt. This is Christy Barritt at her finest. I'm loving this standalone thriller!
Explore the dark side of paradise, where sun-soaked beaches hide deadly secrets . . .
When Maddie Waters joins her fiancé, Josh Harding, in Hawaii for his company’s luxurious weeklong corporate retreat, Josh wants her to help him secure the prestigious role of CEO for the high-tech firm. However, someone with a dark secret has other plans, and everything changes when a series of deaths and near-fatal “accidents” plague the event.
With a determined detective circling and her relationship with Josh unraveling, Maddie finds refuge in a new group of friends. She soon forms an uneasy alliance with the handsome and mysterious Brody, hoping he can help her uncover the truth.
As secrets are exposed, tension mounts and relationships crumble. Maddie finds herself nearly drowning in a riptide of lies and deception. She must unravel a complex conspiracy and confront her own past—or risk becoming the next victim.

You shouldn't have walked into a place you weren't supposed to be.
Friday 56
Today's excursion was a kayaking trip down the river, followed by a hike through the jungle, ending at a waterfall with a swimming holed beneath it.
What have you been reading lately?
That event in the Friday 56 quote sounds wonderful to me. Sign me up. Of course, I suspect there's plenty of danger involved from the sounds of the book.
ReplyDeleteSign me up, too! Minus the murder, it sounds lovely, lol. Hope you have a great week! :)
