Waking Up In Vegas

Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of Waking Up in Vegas by J.E. Rowney due to be published October 25, 2024.
Jess is always the responsible one. But for her bachelorette Vegas party, she is ready to “let loose” with her four best friends. When Jess wakes up in a bathtub full of ice, she knows something is terribly wrong. Her maid of honor is missing, and the other girls are scattered in disarray. What happened last night? The girls will have to reevaluate last night and possibly their lives.
Waking Up in Vegas alternates chapters with the morning the girls wake up and the night before – trying to figure out how they got in this mess. I couldn’t get through it fast enough to see what happened as each chapter led to the next one and left you hanging! The end was not at all what I expected, either – a very unusual plotline, but a satisfying book!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

Jess and 4 of her friends head to Vegas for her bachelorette party. A wild and glam night awaits. Then they wake up and things have gone wrong, and Rachel is missing without trace. With no memory of the night can they find her?

The story is told reliving events of the night, alternating with the morning after. It’s exciting and glamorous and the ending completely unexpected. I enjoyed the friend ship of the girls and could imagine being on the night out. This was a good read and kept me hooked until the last pages!

This was a pretty good book! It was about a bachelorette trip in Vegas with the bride and her 4 friends and we get lots of secrets and mystery while they’re on the trip. It becomes a mysterious story where you don’t know who you can trust or what is about to happen. I think it was entertaining!!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

Thanks to the author for this arc. First of all this definitely gives The Hangover vibes right from the beginning. Rachel is painted to be Jess’s best friend who is the one who arranged the bachelorette party for her. Rachel is very suspicious and acts weird on both timelines, past and present. The past is the night before when they party so hard they end up getting into a lot of problems the next following day. Rachel is “missing” and the girls try to find her. There are some pretty good twists but it isn’t like gone girl to me at all really. I wanted more thrilling but it was pretty crazy at the ending like dang. I recommend, this was a fun read. I just wish I was a bit more twisty and crazy.

I would give this 10 stars if I could! I love the movie Hangover, and this is a genius way to portray it in a thriller! Five friends on a bachelorette weekend in Vegas. What could go wrong? This was a fast paced, intriguing story. The characters and setting are described so vividly, I felt like I was right there in Vegas with them, trying to piece together what happened. Loved the storyline about their friendship and all it entails. This is a must read, you should rush to pre-order this now! Release date October 25th. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this

This story reminded me a lot of The Hangover from the start. It’s a story about a group of girl friends who go to Vegas for a bachelorette party and the ultimate Vegas experience. It was planned to be a night they would never forget… It is well written and the perfect amount of mystery, suspense, and twists. I was sucked in from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

Waking Up in Vegas by J.E. Rowney is a fast paced thriller about five friends on a bachelorette weekend in Las Vegas. It’s suspenseful, twisted and a fun read that I recommend!

This is a crazy ride about five girls who awaken in Vegas one morning after Jess's bachelorette party. Jess is in a bathtub full of ice and Rachel--her maid-of-honor and party planner--is handcuffed to Alex.a man who works at the Bellagio where they are staying. None of the women remember anything about the night before and they must piece together the events that landed them in this now-trashed hotel room before check-out time. Pieces of the night are recalled: an exclusive club called Cherry Pop, a flash drive in a purse, a credit card maxed out, the magician named Marvolo, and "the man in the hat knows." It's a race to the end as the women's memories slowly return and they realize they have each learned something about themselves.
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!
