Going into this I thought I was going to reading a casual little summer camp mystery. I had no clue we were going into college prep summer camp haunted by an active all women cult dating back the pilgrim era.
I was in shock by the turns through the entire book from opening to those final quarter twists. There were parts that I thought were predictable at first, but then out of nowhere it would flip the complete opposite way.
I do give off one point for no content warnings. This work deals a lot with drinking and assault. I also gave a point off because of frequent the alcohol and drug use of 16 years was. I get it’s a summer camp but that was a bit shocking.
In the end, I did bump it back up to 4 because the content of the story was just so intense and good.
Thank you to #recordedbooks and #netgalley for the audio arc of this book. I would most likely end up purchasing a hard copy of this to read again.
