The River at Night

Four friends (Wini, Sandra, Rachel & Pia) venture on a white water rafting trip into the rarely travelled waters of the Allagash Wilderness. They set out filled with excitement and trepidation. Not long into the water they are met with disaster, and a freak accident leaves them stranded. No supplies. No change of clothes. No food. No raft.

It's getting dark and they spot smoke and a small fire high up in the woods. Believing they are saved, they head towards the fire. Coming upon a small camp they meet Simone & Dean who promise help and return to civilization. Little do they know, Simone has other plans.

I really enjoyed this fast-paced thrill ride of a book. What should have been a once in a lifetime adventure turns into a survive-or-die situation. These women had to reach deep down and pull from places they never thought they had the strength to pull from...to stay alive.

The chapters easily flew by as I was engrossed in the story. I've been white water rafting before so it was easy for me to get lost in their adventure. I had nightmares before my trip of some of what these ladies sent through. Whew! Definitely recommend this one for a quick thrilling read.
