A Thriller

By: Jenifer Ruff

Narrated by: Kate Handford

A thriller author discovers her novel has a chilling connection to her past.

At the luxurious Raven’s Hollow Lodge, bestselling novelist Zipporah Bazile arrives to write her next psychological thriller—a haunting story about a woman imprisoned in the basement of a remote cabin.

When Zipporah ventures beyond her suite to explore the resort, strange events occur. Someone is following her on the trails, digging online for information about her life, and slipping a mysterious powder into her drinks. Her growing romantic connection with another resort guest only deepens her paranoia. Is he part of the danger, or someone she can trust?

Shocking revelations soon threaten Zipporah's grip on reality, forcing her to question everything about her novel, past, and identity. She must confront the terrifying possibility that the ending she's writing might be her own.

An atmospheric psychological thriller with a shocking twist, perfect for Freida McFadden fans.

Critic reviews

"Builds tension with every page, sharp writing, and a twist that flips everything." – Sara Ennis, author of The Dollhouse

Quick easy read unique premise

Kept my attention and I really liked it, but the last few chapters dragged on, and the ending definitely fell flat. I thought there might be a twist but there wasn’t.

Kept me on my toes!!

Lots of unexpected twists and turns!! I listened to this in a weekend lol definitely kept my attention

Surprisingly good

I don’t think I’ve ever read a novel by this author before, but I really enjoyed it. I thought that it was creative and definitely kept my interest. The fact that it was included in membership was even better!

loved it

Tense, emotional, and easy to get pulled into. The story focuses as much on survival and recovery as it does on suspense, which made it feel more personal than a typical thriller. A gripping read that keeps you turning the pages while still giving space to the emotional aftermath. 📚🖤

Unexpected plot twist

Story moved along quickly, kept me engaged and had an unexpected plot twist that I didn’t see coming at all.
