Shore Lodge

⭐⭐ – I like the cover on this book.

Shore Lodge by Susan Specht Oram tells the story of Jacklyn Stone, a widow who is struggling to cope with her husband's death. In an attempt to heal, she decides to take a vacation with her children but soon realizes that the remote retreat they are staying in is actually a psychiatric facility. As she fights to regain control of her life, she must also face the possibility of being trapped in the facility forever.

While this book promises a pulse-pounding psychological thriller, it fell way short for me in that regard. Calling it a psychological thriller was a stretch at best. I also struggled with the writing. It came off very amateurish. Which made it hard to stay engaged in the story.

Overall, Shore Lodge didn't work for me, but in the end, reading is subjective and it's okay if not every book is a hit.
