The River at Night by Erica Ferencik grabs you immediately and doesn’t let go until the final page. I read it in about two hours because I couldn’t put it down. It’s perfect for a quiet weekend or a day at the beach – NOT for when you are home alone at night! Four friends have gone on girls’ weekends for the last fifteen years – some have been more thrilling than others. This year, the ringleader, Pia, has decided they need to go whitewater rafting in the wilderness. While Wini has reservations, she decides she would rather face her fears than miss the time with her pals. Of course, terrible things happen. This was not particularly well-written and you could argue the plausibility of many elements, but, laying those aside, this was a great read.
