5.0

This book was great! Dark at times but I really enjoyed the mystery/cult-y vibes to it. There was a good amount of suspense mixed into a classic summer camp story. The main character was interesting and introspective. I couldn’t put it down. I’d recommend it to anyone okay with some some spooky/horror-esque vibes. Not for people wanting a feel-good, summer romance story.

Delightfully creepy. A secret society at a summer camp that the MC's mom has mysterious ties with. I kept on with this book and wanted more and more. It was just fantastic and creepy and a perfect summer horror read for me.
