Features & Highlights

  • They meet for one week every year, five young women, best friends since college, in search of fun and thrills. Each year they choose a different place for their reunion. This year it’s Helen’s choice, and she chose the Totem Pole Lodge. Bad choice.
  • The Totem Pole Lodge is a deserted resort hotel deep in the woods with a gory, shocking past. Helen has a macabre streak and she can’t wait to tell her friends all about what happened at the lodge and why it’s now abandoned. But Helen and the others are in for a nasty surprise. The resort isn’t quite as deserted as they think. And not all the gruesome events at the Totem Pole Lodge are in its past. The worst are still to come…

Once you start any of Laymons books you won't be able to put them down.

This book was excellent as usual but it left me wanting more violence. It's just the way it is when you read Laymon.

Laymon is God

As expected, I enjoyed the hell out of this book! I have never been disappointed by Laymon. This book is very fun and hilarious read. And when you don't expect it...BAM

Meh...

The book arrived in excellent condition. The book itself was rather difficult to read in my opinion. Nothing but cheesy conversations between the many characters of the book. It just felt choppy to me. Great storyline however. Just not a smooth read. There were some misspellings as well. Meh.
