THE RIVER AT NIGHT by Erica Ferencik is a book of friendship and survival; it is also a psychological thriller. Four women who have been having Girls Trips for years are now middle-aged and all at very different places in their lives, the one constant is their affection for each other. They set out on an adventure they are ill-prepared for white water rafting in a very remote area of Maine with a young experienced, unpredictable guide.
The trip does not go as planned and the women find themselves stranded without their guide and their supplies. Thinking they have been saved when they see a camp fire in the distance they walk toward the smoke only to find they are walking into a nightmare.
This book hit all the right buttons for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the friendship the women possessed though they had their differences, the sense of adventure and the thriller aspects of this novel.

This book was given to me to read by NetGalley for my honest feedback.

The description of this book sounded intriguing. Four female friends, on a rafting adventure, become stranded and need to survive. I enjoyed the beginning of the book and the mid to end of the book, but I struggled to get through some parts. I believe it was because the characters in the book were very stereotypical, right down to the men they met in the store. I enjoyed the part about whom they met in the mountains, but the book became somewhat predictable.

It was an easy read, and I didn't love it or hate it. I would say it was a good vacation read.

Exciting read but a little unbelievable, which took away from the peril of the adventure.

This was a book that at times made me question the sanity of the characters in this story. Why would a group of 4 women close to their 40's go out on a white water rafting trip in the middle of nowhere with a 20 year old guy who has only been down that particular river 4 previous times??? This was a weird story. I am not to sure of the point besides maybe: Don't let your fear prevent you from doing things?

Eh, I thought it was written well and I did read it fairly quickly but it lacked sustenance for me.
