In this instant New York Times bestselling and âutterly addictive thrillerâ (Ana Reyes, New York Times bestselling author), a young author is invited to an exclusive writerâs 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 doesnât dampen her excitement.
But when the attendees arrive, Roza drops a bombshellâthey 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 Rozaâs erratic behavior, Wrenâs 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 truthâor suffer the same fate.
A claustrophobic and âaudacious psychological thriller debutâ (Publishers Weekly), The Writing Retreat expertly explores the dark side of female relationships, fame, and the desire to have our stories told.
