“This island doesn’t twist people up. It turns them into the purest version of themselves, hones them like a knife’s blade. … What am I when you strip anything else away? I’m a motherfucking survivor.”

Woah, “Reckless Girls” by @ladyhawkins was way good. The twists of murder and tangled backstories on a tropical island had me hooked the whole time—I read this one in a day! Three parties—seven people—wind up at an island with bad vibes, and only one person makes it out alive. 

I liked it a lot. There was enough mystery and adventure to keep my attention the entire time. I’d recommend it to anyone who loves a good mystery… and bonus points to anyone who is next level enough to read it while vacationing on a tropical island themselves—spooky!
