Spring Break: A Novel / by Kayla Perrin

A week in The Bahamas with her BFF's is just what 21-year-old Chanetelle needs after a long, cold two months at their Pennsylvania college. More importantly, it's a chance for her to put some necessary space between her and former boyfriend Carl, who had the audacity to break up with her just because he wanted to spend more time with his friends. Sun-drenched beaches, all-day shopping sprees and nonstop party-hopping is what Chanetelle, the sultry Erica and stunning Ashley have in mind upon arrival. That's pretty much how things start out with all three girls never at a loss for a free drink from an available, willing male patron.
.
But terror strikes suddenly when Ashley mysteriously disappears without a trace (kidnapped?). Chanetelle and Erica find themselves in shock, distraught with confusion and disbelief until a few subtle hints lead the pair to find some important clues, and, ultimately some seedy characters who may be the answer to their friend's whereabouts. Without much help from anyone else and not knowing who to trust, the pair embark on the trail to find their friend, negotiating some treacherous twists and turns along the way. Perrin's latest thrill ride is engrossing and fans won't be disappointed. Things move fast but the author stays on top of things with Chanatelle's thorough narrative which helps the reader understand the characters and keep in touch with the vital parts of the story.
