The Retreat (Paperback)

Sherri Smith illuminates the dark side of the self-care and wellness industry in a thrilling ride of revenge perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers.

Katie Manning was a beloved child star until her mid-teens when her manager attacked and permanently scarred her face, effectively ending her career and sending her on a path of all-too-familiar post-Hollywood self-destruction.

Now twenty-seven, Katie wants a better answer to those clickbait "Where Are They Now?" articles that float around online. An answer she hopes to find when her brother's too-good-to-be-true fiancée invites her to a wellness retreat upstate. Together with Katie's two best friends - one struggling with crippling debt and family obligations, one running away from a failed job and relationship - Katie will try to find the inner peace promised at the tranquil retreat. But finding oneself just might drudge up more memories than Katie is prepared to deal with.

Each woman has come to the retreat for different reasons. Each has her secrets to hide. And at the end of this weekend, only one will be left standing.

Going on a retreat can have deadly consequences. Katie Manning, known as the child star of a TV series about a child detective, Shelby Spade agrees to accompany her future sister-in-law, Ellie-Rose to a weekend retreat. She decides to invite two girls she befriended at college, Carmen and Ariel to join them. What should have been a weekend of meditation, detoxing food and loving thoughts instead ends up as a weekend away with a serial killer. By why? What could possibly cause someone to harbour so much hate? Sherri Smith has used an interesting location to stage murder and mayhem. Unfortunately, the characters felt far too unreal for me and by the end of the book, I didn’t really care one way or the other who lived or died. Imbali Breakaway Reviewers received a copy of the book to review.
