My Thoughts:

I’ve never read anything by Luca Veste before but The Six caught my attention and I fancied something a bit different so decided to give this a try.

The story follows a group of six friends as they enjoy a music festival together, recapturing something of their youth. It all goes very wrong and someone ends up dead. The group also stumble across another body in the woods, so their problems go from bad to worse. They come to the conclusion that hiding the truth and never talking about anything that happened that weekend is for the best, and so try to resume their usual lives.
I don’t want to say any more about the plot and risk giving too much away.

The Six really delivered a fast-paced, page-turning, ‘just one more chapter’, don’t want to put it down reading experience.
I had no idea where the story would go next, guess as I did, and of course I was surprised at times by the twists and turns. There was a vaguely creepy air to some scenes throughout the story, which was a nice touch.
The ending came as a total shock. I’d been puzzling away and wondering various things about and how the story would end. I was totally wrong.
The Six is mysterious thriller which will keep you guessing throughout.
