The Girls' Weekend: A completely addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist perfect for 2026!

by M.I. Hattersley

Four friends. Three nights in a secluded cabin. Dark secrets that can't be undone. Who will make it home?

Chloe has a bad feeling about Alison's bachelorette party. She barely knows the other girls here, Keren and Jess, and it turns out the cabin they've rented in the woods upstate is much more isolated than she realised - there's hardly any phone signal. She knew she never should have left New York.

The wine is flowing and tensions are already high after a game of Truth or Dare when the girls find a wooden box filled with bridal garters and faded old photographs. It's creepy as hell, but it's probably just the weird caretaker playing a prank?

Then the next day one of the girls disappears. It's clear that someone is playing a very different kind of game with this bachelorette party.

Cut off from civilization, Chloe realises she's trapped - and she can't trust any of the others. And the secrets they're all hiding might just get them killed.

What happens on a girls' weekend, stays on a girls' weekend. Right . . . ?
