The Weekend Away by Miranda Smith
3.0
This was an entertaining read, and it definitely kept me in suspense the whole time. We follow Sienna, whose twin sister Samantha died accidentally (or was it an accident…?). Samantha’s friends invite Sienna to a weekend away at a cabin to honour her sister’s memory, but Sienna discovers that the group of friends have a whole lot of secrets.
