Renewal Ridge Retreat

By: Ballantyne, Skye

A psychological ghost story about healing, memory, and the dangers of confronting what refuses to stay buried.

Clara thought the worst was behind her.
Five months ago, she survived the unthinkable - a hostage situation that left her scarred, sleepless, and desperate to find peace. So when she's invited to Ashwood Green Haven, an exclusive healing retreat promising emotional renewal, she goes. Anything to stop the nightmares.

But the mansion isn't what it seems.
The air feels wrong. Shadows breathe. Guests vanish. And the more the group "shares," the more the house seems to feed on their pain. Their therapy sessions twist into rituals of confession, and something inside the walls begins to stir - something that wants Clara's story most of all.

When visions start to blur the line between past and present, Clara uncovers the retreat's dark truth: it doesn't heal trauma - it harvests it.
Now she must choose whether to keep running from what happened... or face it head-on before she, too, becomes part of the story that's been writing itself all along.

Perfect for fans of Simone St. James, Riley Sager, and gothic psychological thrillers that blend horror and heart.
Haunted Retreat is a chilling, emotional descent into memory, survival, and the haunting truth that healing can sometimes cost everything.
