Because of books like Hell Followed With Us, I have been really interested in trans horror/thriller books, and this absolutely hit the spot for me. This world was so intriguing, and the plot really had me guessing and grasping until the end! As I look back, I recognize so much of the foreshadowing, and I loved the characters and plot development.

3.0

I have a lot of mixed feeling about the ending of this book. Specifically from about chapter 24 to the end the book takes this turn that really doesn't line up with how the first 23 chapters seemed to be laying everything out. I also as a genderfluid person HAVE to point out my disappointment at NO ONE using any other pronouns but he/him for Mars. Not even the characters I felt were accepting them in. Even to the point where on page 301 a characters Mars has been around consistently for the whole summer asks her what pronouns they use..........It felt like a gut punch. I didn't think the SA was necessary for the plot at all.

Spoiler

And everything we were being set up for between Mars and Wyatt completely fell apart within a few pages which was getting and I felt could have been easily handled differently.

Spoiler

I want to say that I truly love Mars and I love cabin H and the bond that was shown there. There were beautiful melodic and visually stunning passages in this book!! The final act just felt so rushed to me. I have more thoughts but I'll leave it at that.

Mars and Caroline are twins. Their mother is a New York senator. When they were younger, they both attended a summer camp called Aspen Conservancy. The camp is mostly for children of the rich and powerful. The exact location isn't given. It is a very forested area. Probably upstate New York. An incident happened to Mars that caused him to stop going to the camp. Caroline continued to go. Their ages at the present time of the book weren't given. They were probably around 16. In the present time, Caroline goes missing from the camp. A short time later, she comes back to Mar's parents' house and dies under strange circumstances. At Caroline's funeral, 3 members of Caroline's cabin at the camp do something strange. The cabin is called Cabin H. The girls who camp there are called the Honey's. Each cabin in the camp has to have a main function. The girls raise bees. Mars want to go back to the camp to try to figure what happened with his sister. He does go back to camp. The remainder of the book deals with his attempts to figure out what happened to Caroline. There are a lot of tense moments. There are many scary situations. There were a couple of twists towards the end that I didn't see coming. I loved the book.
