From
the inside flap
“Winfred
Allen needs a vacation.
“Stifled
by a soul-crushing job, devastated by the death of her beloved brother, and
lonely after the end of a fifteen-year marriage, Wini is feeling vulnerable. So
when her three best friends insist on a high-octane getaway for their annual
girls’ trip, she signs on despite her misgivings.
“What
starts out as an invigorating hiking and rafting excursion in the remote
Allagash Wilderness soon becomes an all-too-real nightmare: a freak accident
leaves the women stranded, separating them from their raft and everything they
need to survive. When night descends, a fire on the mountainside lures them
them to a ramshackle camp that appears to be their lifeline. But as Wini and
her friends grasp the true intent of their supposed saviors, long-buried
secrets emerge and lifelong allegiances are put to the test. To survive, Wini
must reach beyond the world she knows to harness an inner strength she never knew
she possessed.”
Review
River is an immersive, excellent female-centric thriller that is
near-impossible to set down. The characters are deftly sketched out, as are
their histories, and River’s setup and pacing makes it a great, lazy afternoon
read. Check this out!

According
to the May-June 2019 issue of Scream magazine, River is the basis
for a forthcoming film, to be co-written with Kevin Williamson, screenwriter of
the Scream quadrilogy, and possibly directed by Eli Roth.
