The Return

Julie went on a hike one more and never came home. Two years later she's found sitting on her front porch like no time has passed. For Julie's best friend, Elise, she never really believed she was gone. After spending 2 years missing and mourning Julie, Elise and their two other best friends Molly and May, decide to have a girl's trip in a new hotel in New York where they all went to college together. On this trip they learn that Julie had changed in some drastic ways and are met with the realization that maybe the Julie they knew is not the Julie that's on the trip with them. This trip turns into a nightmare.

I very much enjoyed this one! I listened to the Audible version and thought that that aided in how much I liked this book. There is heavy dialogue between the girls and I thought the narrator did a great job in differentiating the girls and made the listen immersive and fun. The author did a great job and slowly creating the creep factor. I was incredibly intrigued about what happened to Julie and who (or what) she was now. The hotel also has an eery sense about it (however to avoid spoilers I won't say more about that). I highly recommend for those that are a fan of horror.
