2000s: A deserted island, a vicious storm, a murderer amongst friends…
The Weekend Escape
What you need to know before your trail
It was meant to be a fun reunion, a chance for six friends to reconnect and relive the adventures that brought them together in the first place. But from the moment they arrive on their island home for the weekend, Lyndsey, Sonia, Bobbie, Amanda, Juliet, and Val realise that their paradise is filled with peril, and there are consequences when you try to outrun the ghosts of your past.
As everything starts to fall apart, and the friends begin to turn against one another, deep, dark secrets are revealed, and an unimaginable horror is unleashed. They came seeking adventure, but now they’ll be lucky to leave with their lives…
Travel Guide
Shell Island
This is a very vividly drawn rocky island whose cliffs act as a warning to stay away or a trap to keep you there. Oh and there’s a storm.
Imagine coming here with friends, well people who use to be friends. A weekend of adventure awaits. What happens when things go wrong and you can’t leave? The accommodation they find is not very welcoming either and there’s no communication with the outside world when the storm really ramps up.
The only other person around seems to be bird warden….
Booktrailer Review
Great atmosphere and an ‘And Then There Were None’ feel to the whole thing.
Six women arrive for a weekend. They seek adventure but find misadventure. What a wild ride! A raging storm helps add to the sense of foreboding. You can almost feel the rain on your face.
No one else on the island apart from them – well there is a sole, part-time bird warden. So, who is after them?
Aargh! A thriller ride this one!
