Reviews

A brilliant, twisty thriller that makes you want to shout warnings out aloud to the characters! I was gripped -- Peter James, author of the bestselling Roy Grace series
An absolutely flawless debut from an incredible survival thriller writer. The prose is taut without being plain and wonderfully descriptive without becoming purple. Paced flawlessly from start to the barn burner of a finale, I gobbled this up in two days and can still hear the hum of insects and feel the heat of a tropical summer on my skin. An absolute must-read for your summer. Nikki Allen is one to watch -- Sarah Goodwin, author of The Yacht
With shades of The White Lotus, Apple Cider Vinegar and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, this Costa Rican-set thriller is an accomplished white-knuckle ride from start to finish -- Kate Riordan, author of The Heatwave
Nikki Allen has delivered a captivating, immersive and brilliant read - the perfect destination thriller to lose yourself in this summer -- Natasha Boydell, author of The Fortune Teller
I really enjoyed this twisty debut from Nikki Allen, and definitely the closest I'll get to a Costa Rican jungle, especially after the visceral way Nikki brilliantly brought it to life: the heat, the crawling insects, the danger! -- Amanda Reynolds, author of Close To Me
Dangers and secrets lurk in the shadows in this unputdownable destination thriller set in lush Costa Rican rainforest. An immersive, escapist tale of a tropical paradise that turns into a nightmare -- Allie Reynolds, author of Shiver
The Hideaway is THE thriller debut of the summer! With an atmospheric setting that will immediately transport you to the Costa Rican rainforest and a dubious cast of characters, The Hideaway has all the hallmarks for a perfect destination-based, locked room mystery. Filled with tense twists and turns, it will keep you guessing - and distrusting everyone - until the very end. With The Hideaway, Nikki Allen cements herself as a thriller author to watch, and I can't wait to see what she does next! -- Sara Ochs, author of The Resort
Being chosen for an all-expenses paid trip to an influencers exclusive retreat in Costa Rica sounds idyllic - until catastrophe strikes. An exhilarating debut * Prima Magazine *
Fast-paced and imbued with a palpable sense of danger, The Hideaway is the kind of taut destination thriller you can read in just a few sittings * Culturefly *
Tantalisingly eerie and deliciously dark, a striking debut that had me turning pages into the night. The way Nikki writes is punchy and intoxicating, and I was utterly captivated by the atmospheric descriptions of Costa Rica and the rainforest. * Pretty Little Memoirs *
