The Cabin Sessions by Isobel Blackthorn

 


Secrets!

We all have them.

Some we keep from our loved ones, some from acquaintances and some even from ourselves.

While some would call that last part hiding from the truth, some others would call that self-preservation, our natural instinct to survive at any cost.

The Cabin Sessions by Isobel Blackthorn is a psychological thriller that ensnares you into a web that is dark and scary yet electrifyingly spellbinding.

Set amongst the backdrop of a storm, both literally and mentally, the book revolves around few of the residents of the town of Bruntun. The story unfolds in the local pub ‘The Cabin’  on Christmas Eve, where the whole town has gathered  to pay a musical tribute in memory of  local star Benny Muir. It is told in a unique three person viewpoint of musician Adam Banks; the town’s plumber, Phillip, and his mysterious sister Eva. What starts off as a fun night of Christmas cheer and memory slowly unravels into quite a storm.

As the storm rages behind we realize that each of the characters present is stifled by the stench present in the ‘cabin’ and the stench of their secrets weighing down on themselves. Will their secrets remain secrets or will they unravel and spell doom.

Isobel’s use of auditory and sensory imagery, heighten the desperation, the bitterness and the stench of the lengths the human soul is capable of.

An absolutely thrilling read, it keeps you hooked right till the very end. Beware; you might want to hide under the covers more than once.

 

So glad I got this ARC it was an absolutely scary and spellbinding read. Hope you liked my fair and honest review.

Happy Reading
