Description

When you say you'd do anything to lose the weight, do you really mean it Desperate people make stupid mistakes, and Marilyn Channing is no exception. Emerging from the wreckage of a messy divorce, she's determined to lose the weight gained from twenty years spent swallowing her pride. Enter The Vale, a spa nestled deep in the bush, miles from temptation, miles from help. In return, the retreat promises spectacular weight loss and a respite from the chaos of everyday life. It all sounds so lovely and supportive, so deceptively easy. Marilyn should have read the fine print. Because more terrifying than what's on the other side of the razor-wire perimeter fence, is Candice Hawkie. As malevolent as she is thin, the spa's manager has tapped into the abyss of humanity's darkest desires, one in which everything has a price, even death. Set in stunning New Zealand, DietVale is a killer thriller that's perfect for those with a taste for the macabre and a decidedly dark sense of humor.

Reviews

Loved this! What a romp, so funny and horrific, a combination I never thought would work, but it totally does." Catherine Robertson, Best-Selling Author, Gabriel's Day Series

Author Bio

Sydney has a love of writing passed down to her by her mother, although if still alive, she'd be smacking Syd across the back of the head given the direction some of her writing has taken. Irreverent, cutting and with humor that is very dark in places, it is not for the faint of heart. After twenty years in advertising, she decided it was time to put all those stress-induced nightmares to better use by including them in her writing. She might also take perverse delight in eviscerating a few old bosses along the way. Pet hates include reality television and dieting.
