The Lion's Den

By Katherine St. John

Book Overview

A dream vacation on a luxurious yacht turns deadly in this pulse-pounding beach read, perfect for fans of Lauren Weisberger and Ruth Ware.

Belle likes to think herself immune to the dizzying effects of wealth. But when her best friend, Summer, invites her on a glamorous getaway to the Mediterranean aboard her billionaire boyfriend's yacht, the only sensible answer is yes. Once she's aboard the luxurious Lion's Den, it soon becomes clear that this jet-setting holiday is not as advertised. Belle's dream vacation quickly devolves into a nightmare as she and the other girls Summer invited are treated more like prisoners than guests by their vicious host.

Belle is going to have to keep her wits about her--and her own big secret closely hidden--if she wants to make it off this yacht alive.

Includes a Reading Group Guide, exclusive epilogue, and sneak peak of Katherine St. John's next book, The Siren.

Customer Reviews

Good, but.....

Mixed feelings about the book. Most of it was pretty good; an easy, escapism type of read. Some characters that you love to hate, plot lines that make you wonder what motives haven't been revealed yet, etc. There were some things that I felt were not exactly resolved that the author alluded to. Summer's cover-up of college and whatnot. The way it was written made it seem like the history re-write would be important, but it wasn't. Then towards the end, it got pretty nutty. I started to think that the book would wrap up explaining that the whole story was really a movie that Belle was a character in. That honestly might have been a better, albeit cliched, ending. It seemed a bit too unbelievable and like it was wrapped up in a neat little bow at the end. The dialogue and scene at the end seemed pretty mediocre and rushed, which wasn't how I felt about the rest of the book.
