SEVEN STRANGERS SEEKING REFUGE.

BUT DANGER IS EVERYWHERE THEY TURN...

When Jess accepts an offer to caretake a luxury property in the Australian outback, the isolated, all-inclusive solo trip is just what she needs.

But Jess isn't as alone as she thinks.

As bushfires rage in the distance, strangers start showing up to seek refuge. And as the fires start closing in, tensions in the group begin to rise.

Then, the phones stop working. All exits are cut off. There's no way out.

Quickly, Jess's guests begin to panic. And when the first person goes missing, she realises that someone in the house isn't who they say they are.

The danger is already inside...

Critic Reviews

'Faster than wildfire and instantly chilling, I enjoyed every moment of this scorching thriller. Ward paints a masterful picture, from the blazing bushfires, to the strangers within, every scene laced with mistrust and menace.' (Sam Holland, author of THE ECHO MAN)

I found this book, for lack of a better explanation, simply okay. It was worth a read, the story had some good plot turns and twists however it also seemed largely unrealistic at certain points which kept pulling me out of the story.

Maybe it's just my personal taste as i see this book has many good reviews, but speaking truthfully I just didn't enjoy it all that much and found it hard to complete the book by the last few chapters.

Simply Okay
