Publisher's Summary

Bram Stoker award-winner Bentley Little cordially invites you to The Resort.

Welcome to The Reata, an exclusive spa isolated in the Arizona desert. Please ignore the strange employees and that unspeakable thing in the pool. And when guests start disappearing, pretend it isn't happening. Enjoy your stay, and relax. Oh...and lock yourself in after dark. 

Opulent doesn't begin to describe the Arizona getaway where Lowell Thurman, his wife Rachel, and their three young sons have come for one glorious week. Everything at The Reata is perfect - although Rachel is a bit unnerved by the openly lustful gaze of one of the gardeners, something she doesn't mention to Lowell. Nor does he tell her about the frightening sensation he has in the pool of hands clutching at him, trying to pull him under. After all, when you're in paradise, a few glitches shouldn't spoil the fun.

But the good times come to a screeching halt, when, to the Thurmans' horror, guests begin to disappear. What's happening at the resort? Evil, ancient, and cruel. And unless they can stop it, the Thurmans will be forced to sacrifice at its altar....

Explicit violence.

Absolute Torture

I am deathly allergic to shellfish and I would much rather attend a buffet at Red Lobster than finish this book. How was this written by Bentley Little? Absolute mess and almost turned me off audiobooks in general. Can't all be winners I guess but my god this was rotten

Not a bad story

Started off great, good build up of suspense. Became a lot less captivating towards the end felt like the author took you on a climb then pushed you over the edge as a quick way to get to the ground.

This was a fun read!

The author as usual builds up a sense of dread and unease, making day to day life seem more creepy than usual. And the ending actually wraps the story up sufficiently. Overall the book is not the kind I would re-read, rehash or gush about to my friends, thus a four star instead of five.
