Fran, a 50-something single, teacher, is roped into attending a Wellness retreat by her mother - a retreat run by the same man who ran the one in Gozo where Fran’s sister, Jenna, went missing two years previously. The male counsellor, Tom, has just served two years in prison for the deaths of two other people on the retreat, and his wife wants him to get back to work as soon as possible. This may not have been a wise move.
I liked the flashbacks to Jenna’s retreat - there was as much tension in these parts as in her sister Frans present day parts. Neither past events or the present day make it any easier to guess what might have happened to Jenna, but there’s definitely something fishy going on in both timelines.
There were parts where I felt it best to leave my rational thoughts at the door - but hey, this is fiction. If I wanted real life, I’d read a newspaper (ahem. Or something). Many was the time over the 10 day period of reading this, where I was so frustrated at the end of the stave - I just wanted to read on. It’s definitely a book written for a day long binge read!!

Shift ( Werecats book 5)
By Rachel Vincent
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Being the first female werecat enforcer isn't easy. Scars accumulate, but I'm stronger in so many ways.
As for my personal life? It's complicated. Choices worth making always are. Ever since my brother's death and my father's impeachment, it's all I can do to prevent more blood from spilling. Now our Pride is under attack by a flight of vicious thunderbirds. And making peace with our new enemies may be the only way to get the best of our old foe.
With the body count rising and treachery everywhere, my instincts tell me to look before I leap. But sometimes a leap of faith is the only real option..
It’s been a long time since I started and finished a book in 1 day! This has to be my favourite so far I love her writing style and how I just fall back into the world with a few months break between the books. I’m still not over Ethans death just like most of the characters and can’t wait for that vengeance. This book introduces Thunderbirds and omg they are amazing and so much fun! I’m worried for Faythe in so many ways especially when Dean catches up with her!!
And for the record I’m team Jase always have been!!!
Looking forward to Alpha although I’ll be gutted it being the last book.
