BOOK BLURB
Fletcher Spence is dying for a promotion. And her colleagues are more than happy to oblige.
After three years working seventy-hour weeks as assistant to the most terrifying CEO in the magazine world, Fletcher finally finagled a spot on Cartwright Media’s annual corporate retreat—a famously luxurious week on the Cartwrights’ private island, where promotions are handed out like party favors. And her plan to snag her dream job as a travel magazine photographer was going great…until her boss’s dramatic death reveals his last will and testament: Whoever survives the week will inherit the company.
So now she’s stuck on her billionaire boss’s safari park island, surrounded by wild animals and on the run from coworkers who’ve swapped coffee cups for machetes and briefcases for hunting rifles.
To Fletcher’s dismay, her only ally might be her boss’s insufferably gorgeous son, Waylon Cartwright. Despite their hostile history, Fletcher is at least 80 percent sure he won’t try to kill her this week. Plus, his experience on the island might come in handy while they fend off lions and tigers and…marketing executives? Oh my.
While Fletcher battles her own ambitions and her unexpected attraction to Waylon, her power-hungry, bloodthirsty colleagues will do anything to stop them from escaping with their lives. Everyone knows the media industry is cutthroat, but in this safari party, it’s never been more true.
MY REVIEW
Fletcher wants a promotion. When her boss dies, her and her coworkers are stuck on his private island. During the reading of his will, it is stated that whoever survives the week on the island will inherit his company. Now, not only does Fletcher have to deal with the wildlife, but also the coworkers willing to kill to get ahead.
Safari Murder Party is a wild ride. Quirky characters and an intriguing setting. A bit of a locked room mystery and survival story. Also, an enemies to lovers romance.
Dark comedy, mystery, and romance combine for an entertaining read. Safari Murder Party is good for readers who enjoy a little crazy in their thrillers.
