As Bella drops her son off at university, she's devastated. It's been the two of them ever since Asher was born. The only thing helping her through is an upcoming week-long wilderness retreat in Sweden, a surprise gift from her sister and Asher.
The lodge is modern and luxurious - but the surrounding forest is foreboding. Named Dead Man's Forest after the legend of a local bandit left to die inside a wooden coffin, there are rumours that, on quiet nights, you can still hear the scratching of his fingernails against the lid.
When someone begins leaving unsettling notes, and a figure from her past comes back to haunt her, Bella's unease grows. This certainly isn't the restful retreat she signed up for. And when another guest suddenly disappears, Bella fears she might not make it home alive...
Don't miss this gripping psychological thriller about a blissful holiday that turns into a nightmare, perfect for fans of The Sanatorium and The Guest List.

This book is an unforgettable carousel of emotions. To all this, you can add unforgettable twists and turns. The interesting plot does not let you forget about yourself. The perfect psychological thriller. The further I got into this story, the more I was convinced I was going crazy. What has the author done to me?
I don't regret the late night. I'm still in shock, and I didn't expect such an ending.
The main character is flying to a week-long relaxation camp in Sweden. Her 18-year-old son is just starting college. She can't contact him because she had to give up her phone for a week. I understand the suffering of a mother who has no news from her child. There is a group of people at this camp. Each of them are hiding something. Our heroine Bella is in shock. Someone slipped a note into her room saying "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID". On top of all this, she hears strange noises. I was terrified. I was worried about Bella. Is she in danger?
An interestingly constructed thriller. There is something to be afraid of. Taking "The wilderness retreat" in my hand, I couldn't stop reading. I definitely need to know other works by Jennifer Moore.
Finally, I'll leave you with a question: will the mother ever see her son again?
Plus, nothing is what it seems.
