Summary
Perfect for fans of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Riverdale and Stephen King's The Shining
Her best friend disappeared. A stranger came back.
Julie is missing, and the missing don't often return. But Elise knows Julie better than anyone, and she feels in her bones that her best friend is out there.
She's right. Two years to the day that Julie vanished, she reappears with no memory of what happened to her. But she is different. She's emaciated, with sallow skin, chipped teeth and odd appetites. In so many ways, Julie seems to be the friend they all loved and lost. But in others, she seems to be a stranger.
Along with Molly and Mae, their two close friends from college, they decide to reunite at the eccentric, remote Red Honey Inn. But when bad weather traps them inside the hotel, tensions flare. Elise begins to hear scratching within the walls, to see the slither of shadows cast by nothing. And as the weekend unfurls, it becomes impossible to deny that the Julie who vanished two years ago is not the same Julie who came back.
An eerie storm of a debut that fuses thriller and horror into a brilliant depiction of women's friendships - the rivalries, jealousies, anxieties and love. The Return is like nothing else you'll read this year.

It was ok
I felt like I figured this book out quickly and I was not a fan of the reader. I really enjoyed Cackle, but this one not so much.

Something about having this book read to you enhances the creepiness!
I’ve both read and now listened to this book and honestly, having it read to you, especially in bed at night in the dark, it ramps up the eeriness ten fold!
Reading the book was nowhere near as intense.
I would still recommend this book to any thriller/ horror fans but I would definitely recommend the audiobook more!

When they try to teach “voice” this should be used in the class
My first Rachel Harrison book and I listened to it over the course of two days. I was glued. It’s a slow-burner, but in the best possible way. This is the type of horror story where you feel like you know the characters, the place, you’ve heard their stories, you feel their pains and neuroses. It’s lived in, real, flawed, with every character containing multitudes. You could stay with these characters forever. But you can’t. Because this is a horror story. And a terrifying one at that. I’ll be stunned if this isn’t a hit movie within the next five years.

Exactly what I wanted
Loved this, the combination of very real-feeling character writing and excellent horror premise was just what I was in the mood for. The circle of friends was brilliantly realised, the setting perfect, and the horror actually satisfyingly not just a metaphor. The performance was top-notch too.

loved it!
a truly brilliant book- bought it ages ago and didn't remember the genre or anything so started listening and assumed relationship drama which is fine, but what I got was so much more and soooo much fun!! fantastic story and brilliant narration. if it's possible to go into this knowing as little as possible I highly recommend that! going to hunt other work by this author now 😃

Disturbing Feminist Horror!
It was really slow at the beginning and I hated most of the characters. But I persevered and I ended up loving it! I had way more affection for everyone by the end. I loved the gothic horror conventions in this novel too. I can't get what happened at the end out of my mind as I think it can be read in several ways.

Red Honey
An honest depiction of the highs and lows of flawed female friendships meets genuinely spooky original horror. I really enjoyed it. The narrator is excellent and does a great job of giving each character an individual voice/accent without making it annoying. Recommend!
