*This book is no longer available, and was replaced by Our Deadly Reunion*

Years have passed since four friends were as close as brothers. With Ethan losing his job, Anthony divorcing his wife, and Jay going to prison, dark times have taken their toll. And then there’s Chris, who’s climbing up the social ladder and hurting those who were once his closest friends.

Determined to get even with the one who abused their trust, a secret plan is set into motion, reuniting the four men in a secluded cabin from their past. With little to hold them back, dark desires surface and threaten to put the final nail in the once unbreakable friendship.

How far will they go to settle old scores?

This was everything I expected with some extra twists and turns to round it out.  It’s pretty straightforward.  Four college friends have grown apart for various reasons.  Three remain close.  One of the three returns after a stint in jail and discloses his anger at the lone friend.  He devises a plan of revenge and gets the other two on board to help execute same.

There are reasons the other get on board and much comes to light, but when the originator appears to want to take things too far, the others pull back.  Suffice to say that much was learned by each about their own lives through this little adventure and not a one comes out the same as he went in.  Their friendship grows in a new direction and things look like they will get much more interesting for them all as this story plays out in the next installments.

I enjoyed the writing style and storytelling and learning about each of these guys and their respective friendship dynamics.  It isn’t nearly as dark as the blurb portrays but there is a bit of non/con before things get reined in.  I am looking forward to the next one.
