"A debut of fresh, twisty domestic suspense that follows a cast of characters who arrive at an astrology-themed hotel for a weekend getaway, where past resentments and disturbing secrets come to light - and one of them will not leave alive. For a group of wealthy Manhattanites, it was supposed to be the perfect weekend away...No work, no kids, nothing but old friends, and two days at the hottest new boutique hotel on the coast--the ridiculously Instagrammable, astrologically-themed Stars Harbor.

As Rini's nightly astrological readings turn from kitschy fun to uncomfortably--even dangerously--accurate, the guests' buried impulses begin to burst to the surface. But The Astrologer isn't leaving fate in the hands of the Universe. She has a plan for each of her guests, and one of them won't be leaving alive..."-- more
