The hook:
A tight knit group of college friends is thrown under suspicion when one of their group meets a tragic fate during a night of partying. Someone in the group knows more than they are telling, and everyone has secrets they’d rather not come to light.
My impressions:
This book got ahold of me and didn’t let go until I’d finished it. Every twist was perfectly timed, and as I pieced together the clues and foreshadowing, I found myself repeatedly whispering “oh no, oh NO” under my breath. If you’re a hardcore mystery fan, this is a perfect book to devour in one frantic sitting. Fans who are less used to the brutality of some of the darker books of the genre may want to seek out a spoiler free trigger warning list, as there are certainly some parts of the book that are quite disturbing. Even as a seasoned lover of mystery novels, I found myself queasy and disturbed by some of the scenes near the end of the book, and I don’t recommend it to anyone who dislikes depictions of gruesome material. There’s not much gore exactly, it’s more that the descriptions of some plot elements are psychologically disturbing. All that said, if you go into it prepared for all that, it’s an incredibly well written book that you’ll be unable to put down.
Fans of the shows Criminal Minds and How To Get Away With Murder will enjoy this twisty read. If you’re looking for a tangled tale to keep you up at night, you’ll love this book.
-Happy Reading
