Jumia Books Sinners Retreat: A Dark Rom-Com (A Slaycation Novel) Author: Lauren Biel

Sinners Retreat by Lauren Biel is a genre-bending dark romantic comedy that blends vacation vibes with slasher suspense and sizzling attraction. Set in a lush, tropical paradise, this “slaycation” novel follows a group of morally questionable characters who arrive at a retreat promising relaxation—but quickly find themselves tangled in secrets, seduction, and survival.

The cover’s vibrant hibiscus flowers and palm fronds contrast sharply with the ominous knife embedded in the title, hinting at the story’s dual nature: playful and perilous. As flirtation turns to fear and paradise becomes a trap, Biel delivers a fast-paced, emotionally charged narrative filled with snark, spice, and sharp edges.

Perfect for readers who love their romance with bite, their humor dark, and their characters delightfully wicked, Sinners Retreat is a vacation you won’t forget—even if you don’t make it out alive.
