dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I liked it! I finished it in one day and the ending was satisfying (in my opinion). Recommended if you like revenge plots, feminine rage or fast paced thrillers.

I think this is an awesome take on like a modern day And Then There Were None which is like one of my fav books! I found all the characters absolutely atrocious but in a fun way. I actually hates them all but that’s the point and it was well done! 

Secrets secrets secrets!! I loved the different POVs and seeing how their trip u folds. I will say I think the plot is a little obvious within the first few chapters if you’re paying attention, but the story was still enjoyable!!

Def found this one very entertaining and it made me want to take a vacay so baddddd! It seems to be set up for a second one which does spike my interest a little but we’ll see!
