MY RATING
☆☆☆☆
SYNOPSIS
Ten writers are selected for a summer-long writing retreat with the most celebrated and reclusive author in the world. Their host is the legendary Roderick Wells.

Most of all, he plans to teach them about the darkness in their hearts.
The writers think they are signing up for a chance at riches and literary prestige. But they are really entering the twisted imagination of a deranged genius, a lethal contest pitting them against one another in a struggle for their sanity and their lives. They have entered into Roderick Wells’s most brilliant and horrible creation.
MY REVIEW
I’m having a hard time keeping my focus while reading/writing right now. So I’m going to keep this short and sweet.
I’m glad to report that I’ve managed to finish this one, and it was such a FUN ride!
