VACATION FRIENDS By Christy Barritt, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney


"I know something you need to know. Someone is out to get you . . . Meet me at 5:30 a.m. on the beach. Tell no one - trust no one. . . "

Maddie Waters was confused. In beautiful Hawaii, on a business retreat with employees from her fiance's tech company, "the message sounded so ominous". Turns out, it was. Terrified by her own near death experience trying to save the life of a total stranger, she forms vacation friendships with the bystanders who rescued her out of the water. Certainly paradise . . . would not "become her grave". Would it?

Everyone's a suspect. Everyone's a victim. Everyone and no one, it's all so confusing. With her distinctive "whodunit" style featuring twist after twist, and turn after turn, the author invites her readers along on an island vacation that none of them will choose to repeat.

Explore the dark side of paradise, where sun-soaked beaches hide deadly secrets . . .

When Maddie Waters joins her fiancĂ©, Josh Harding, in Hawaii for his company’s luxurious weeklong corporate retreat, Josh wants her to help him secure the prestigious role of CEO for the high-tech firm. However, someone with a dark secret has other plans, and everything changes when a series of deaths and near-fatal “accidents” plague the event.

With a determined detective circling and her relationship with Josh unraveling, Maddie finds refuge in a new group of friends. She soon forms an uneasy alliance with the handsome and mysterious Brody, hoping he can help her uncover the truth.

As secrets are exposed, tension mounts and relationships crumble. Maddie finds herself nearly drowning in a riptide of lies and deception. She must unravel a complex conspiracy and confront her own past—or risk becoming the next victim.
