DietVale
Всичко за тази електронна книга
Desperate people make stupid mistakes, and Marilyn Channing is no exception. Emerging from the wreckage of a messy divorce, she's determined to lose the weight gained from twenty years spent swallowing her pride.
Enter The Vale, a spa nestled deep in the bush, miles from temptation, miles from help. In return, the retreat promises spectacular weight loss and a respite from the chaos of everyday life. It all sounds so lovely and supportive, so deceptively easy.
Marilyn should have read the fine print.
Because more terrifying than what's on the other side of the razor-wire perimeter fence, is Candice Hawkie. As malevolent as she is thin, the spa's manager has tapped into the abyss of humanity's darkest desires, one in which everything has a price, even death.
In a world where the desire to lose weight comes at a cost, what lengths will Marilyn go to for the ultimate transformation? Find out in DietVale, where the scales of fate tip perilously between life and death.
Set in stunning New Zealand, DietVale is a standalone killer thriller that's perfect for those with a taste for the macabre and a decidedly dark sense of humor.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
"Sharp and confronting, DietVale is not for the faint hearted." Lee Murray, Bram-Stoker Award Winning Author
"Loved this! What a romp, so funny and horrific - a combination I never thought would work but totally does." Catherine Robertson, Best-Selling Author, Gabriel's Bay Series
"Difficult to put down, even though in a few places, my stomach turned! But I had to read on. Engaging characters, riveting storyline - definitely enough to make me want to triple check any spas before I go there. If you like your storylines dark and funny - this is for you." Jeannie - Goodreads Reviewer
"A dark comedy, with moments of sheer brilliance, a great, disturbing, read." Karen - Goodreads Reviewer
"The writing style is easy to read and humorous. Some of the content is darker than the writing style at first suggests, just a warning for anyone that picks it up. The setting of the health retreat in New Zealand was vivid and well written - I could almost imagine I was there, but thank goodness I wasn't!" Cheryl - Goodreads Reviewer
"Seeking horror that truly disturbs juxtaposed with dark humour and a splash of vengeance? Look no further." Narrative Muse

За автора
Sydney has a love of writing passed down to her by her mother, although if still alive, she'd be smacking Syd across the back of the head given the direction some of her writing has taken. Irreverent, cutting and with humor that is very dark in places, it is not for the faint of heart.
After twenty years in advertising, she decided it was time to put all those stress-induced nightmares to better use by including them in her writing. She might also take perverse delight in eviscerating a few old bosses along the way. Pet hates include reality television and dieting.
