“A Quiet Retreat ” by Kiersten Modglin

Another fast paced plot twisting suspenseful thriller! ( )

Kiersten Modglin delivers yet again with her latest fast paced, twisted thrillerific novel, A Quiet Retreat.

As a small group of writers are invited to a writing retreat their goal is for peace and breakthrough writing, however, the house might have other ideas in store for them.

The narrator of this book encapsulated the tension of the characters to a tee making this a great audiobook. ( )

Five authors have been invited to attend a writing retreat. They each hope this relaxing vacation will get the creative juices flowing. But, as things start to mysteriously disappear and odd occurances begin to happen, tempers flare, no one knows who to trust.

There are quite a few characters. But, the author did a great job keeping them separate and believable. This can be tough. Nevertheless, each character has qualities which are easy to identify and keep them unique.

I especially enjoyed the setting. A creepy house that is set in the woods and it has a murderous past. I mean…what’s not to like! And the intensity just keeps building as you keep moving along. As a reader you just keep wondering what exactly is going on and when is it all going to explode!

I have read quite a few books by this author. Kiersten is a solid author with quite a few really good thrillers under her belt.

The narrator, Carly Robins, did a very good job, especially with all the voices.

Need a book which has a big secret…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. ( )

Love KM. Not a fan of split timelines. Sometimes I find they work for some storylines but just not my cup of tea. Will be waiting for the next KM novel to drop ( )

"I picture myself walking outside, slipping into the darkness, and disappearing once and for all."

Do you know how I know that Kiersten Modglin is the best thriller author out there? Because I've read all 35 of her books and have NEVER, and I mean NEVER, figured out the ending ahead of time. Not once! Every time, the final twist leaves me with my jaw on the floor!

In this dark tale, we have five thriller/mystery authors, of varying levels of fame, each writing different sub-genres, who have all received an invitation to spend a quite retreat at Black Hills Manor, where they are assured peace and tranquility to work on their latest novel. Yeah, right. NOT! Someone has dark plans for this group!

This book has all the creepy feels - isolated mansion, rolling fog, strange noises, things disappearing, watchers in the woods, and power outages. Oh, yeah, and murder.

So, once again the Queen of Twists and Turns leaves me with my jaw on the floor. I don't know how she does it!!!

If you haven't read this author, I highly recommend you do so ASAP! Start with this book, start with any of her others, you won't be disappointed!! ( )
