Megan is preparing to walk down the isle and it’s time for her to relax and have some fun with her friends. Will this be a relaxing hen weekend?? No chance.
From the outset somethings not right. I won’t spoil it but Megan seems to be on edge..thinking the worst.. but why? Well that’s where the author has been very cunning.. there’s a big backstory and lots of moving parts in this engaging plot.
As the hen weekend kicks off it’s time for old friends to reconnect, but when Beth arrives things go from bad to worse..
The author leads you down the rabbit hole… you think you know who is out to get Megan but not the why.. but then there’s twists that make you doubt your initial thoughts.
As the story progresses we learn of hidden secrets that would rock the foundations of any marriage but who is really behind this? And why? What do they get out of this?
Plot wise it’s gripping and exciting and I loved how Megan developed with depth added along the way, it really helped strengthen the overall tale.
The list of characters isn’t too exhaustive meaning the author was able to focus and let the plot shine which paid off! The characters are well defined and develop nicely to aid the plot but little do you know at first where the plot will take you.. wow.. those last few chapters are immensely captivating!
I didn’t warm to Megan at first but as the plot thickens you understand her more and I can’t help but feel that’s exactly how the author wanted it. Megan has her flaws but ultimately isn’t a bad person.. she’s just made some bad choices.. she’s not the only one though!
This is my second foray into the authors work and I continue to be wowed! Excited to see what’s next.
The Uninvited Guest is a tale of hidden secrets and desire..wow!
