A perfect paradise? Or a perfect nightmare?
On a river deep in the Mexican jungle stands the colossal villa Xanadu, a wellness center that’s home to an ardent spiritual group devoted to self-help guru Paul Bentzen and his enigmatic wife Kali. But when Paul mysteriously dies, his entire estate—including Xanadu—is left not to Kali, but to his estranged niece Sveta.
Shocked and confused, Sveta travels from New York City to Mexico to pay her respects. At first, Xanadu seems like a secluded paradise with its tumbling gardens, beautiful people, and transcendent vibe. But soon the mystical façade wears thin, revealing a group of brainwashed members drunk on promises of an impossible utopia, guided by a disturbing belief system and a charismatic, dangerously capable leader.
As the sinister forces surrounding Sveta become apparent, she realizes, too late, she can’t escape. Frantic and terrified, she discovers her only chance of survival is to put her confidence in the very person she trusts the least.
I couldn't put this book down! I absolutely loved it! I loved our main character Sveta, and thought that her fiancé was an idiot, and his family were no better! So I was very pleased when the storyline took us away from that and into the jungle.
As I was reading I was like - do we trust them? what about them? and it was really well written to keep you guessing. I knew people were hiding things i just didn't know who or what and it was getting hard to know who Sveta should be trusting.
As the storyline developed there were twists and turns to keep me on my toes and some of them i did NOT see coming. I felt that the more i was reading the more the suspense was building and I just had to keep on reading to fins out how this was going to end.
Really well written and the book flowed beautifully, although I was glad that I had got to the end I was also sad that it was over. Grab yourself a copy here #Aff
