Gruesome Getaway
Gruesome Getaway | R. N. Cogley
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
"I glance at the empty seat next to me, wishing I'd stayed at home" When twenty-three-year-old master's student Tadhg Kelly joins his twin brother and his girlfriend on their getaway to a cabin in rural Ireland, he hopes to escape all of the drama that's been destroying his life. He wants to forget about his thesis deadline and the terrible, never-ending bad news that fills the headlines. Most of all, he wants to forget about his cheating boyfriend. But Tadhg soon finds much more than a mere cheating scandal to worry about. As soon as the trio enter the eerie village of Killimercy, odd things begin to happen: a strange man peering into the window of their cabin; a mysterious break in, and a unique Celtic symbol haunting Tadhg wherever he goes. Just as they ready themselves to flee, things only get worse...

Gruesome Getaway | R. N. Cogley

23-year-old student Tadhg Kelly & his twin brother, Declan, are about to head off for a weekend getaway. Declan will be joined by his girlfriend Katie but Tadhg recently split with his boyfriend when he caught him cheating so he will be third-wheeling & not looking forward to it. As they get near to their destination they stop at a rundown petrol station for supplies & the man there is friendly until they tell him where they are headed.

OutsmartYourShelf The man tells them to turn around & go home, & they leave feeling a bit shook up but decide he was just a bit weird & they carry on. They reach the village & everything is old - cars, houses, the way the people there dress - & the people seem very odd. The cabin itself is lovely, but weird things start to happen & Tadhg starts to notice a unique Celtic symbol wherever they go. They finally decide to leave but is it already too late?

OutsmartYourShelf I liked the basic premise, it had the vibe of 'The Wicker Man' crossed with an episode of Supernatural. It also had good pace & an intriguing storyline, although the ending was a little disappointing after all the build-up. It was a quick fun read, especially if you like creepy horror books. 4🌟

TWs: blood, injury detail, infidelity.

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Cranthorpe Millner Publishers, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
