Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six

Summary: Three couples rent a luxury cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway to die for in this chilling locked-room thriller.

What could be more restful than a weekend getaway with family and friends? An isolated luxury cabin in the woods, spectacular views, a hot tub and a personal chef. Hannah’s generous brother found the listing online. The reviews are stellar. It’ll be three couples on this trip with good food, good company and lots of R & R.

But the dreamy weekend is about to turn into a nightmare.

A deadly storm is brewing. The rental host seems just a little too present. The personal chef reveals that their beautiful house has a spine-tingling history. And the friends have their own complicated past, with secrets that run blood deep.

How well does Hannah know her brother, her own husband? Can she trust her best friend? Meanwhile, someone is determined to ruin the weekend, looking to exact a payback for deeds long buried. Who is the stranger among them?

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

Ya’ll this sentence pains me to write, but I did not love this book. I honestly at times did not even like this book. It was just tooooooooooo all over the place for me.

It’s too many storylines. Too many characters. Too much side story. Too much damn mention of the upcoming storm. And if Mako said one more time about an epic weekend, I was going to scream.

This book could have easily had 100 pages taken out of it and would have been ok. Because so much of it is repetitive.

Anyway, I still stand by the fact that this is not Lisa Unger’s best; however I believe I made a mistake in listening to this one right after The Engagement Party which was similar-ish set up. And also too much and too over the top.

Bottom line: I’m going to say skip it. Or if you must read it, then get from library or a super-discounted Kindle deal. Def NOT worth the Audible credit I wasted.
