Reality TV is about to get real…

“Are you ready to win the heart of the nation? Compete with seven other contestants for the cash prize? Change your life forever?”

Twenty-six-year old Rory Stevens is thrilled to be selected as one of eight contestants for new reality show: The Retreat.

However, on the second day of filming – during a televised broadcast from the show’s host – all power shuts off with no explanation: leaving the contestants, quite literally, in the dark.

Completely stranded, it is now up to Rory and her seven companions to figure out what is happening.

Until one of them disappears…

For fans of Naomi Alderman, Dave Eggers and John Marrs.

“An absorbing, fast-paced novel with a unique premise. A compelling, accomplished and thrilling read.” – Holly Kinsella, bestselling author of My Life.

A Word from the Author

“Bored of everyday life? Dream of being rich? Famous?”

It is an email subject line that will change Rory Stevens’ life. Spurred on by the belief that she’s lived her whole life afraid to take risks, she auditions for brand new reality show The Retreat. Four contestants are male, four are female. The location of The Retreat is deep in the woods, where three log cabins, surrounded by a ten foot high wall, will be home for these eight strangers for the next few weeks.

However, on the second day, all the power shuts off. Are they still being filmed? Will they be rescued? And then, the following morning, one of them has disappeared…

The Girl on Camera is a gripping commercial thriller, for fans of dystopian authors such as Naomi Alderman, and TV series such as Black Mirror.
