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.Â
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.Â
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.

 I received this book from the publisher through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The narrator was great. But the story was lacking. I didn't care for the ending. It was a bit gross. Also, it got overly descriptive of the clothing. As well as just falling flat. I mean it was okay and I liked some of the characters, but it was a bit predictable. I saw most of the twists coming. But I liked that it was diverse and most of the characters were lovable, but not the main mc.Â
