The Retreat by Sherri Smith
4.0

I enjoyed this book. It appealed to me in so many ways - the reference to Reiki as a practitioner myself along with the whole "wellness" concept was right up my street!

I didn't particularly connect with any of the characters though. I didn't find them likeable, and it was a slow start. Persevere though and it's well worth it.

In general, I prefer endings that are a bit more believable. I found the whole concept of this book a bit outlandish. That doesn't mean to say I didn't enjoy it though and it was still worth a read.

It's a 3.75 for me rounded up to 4 stars.
