A really gripping thriller. I felt like the pacing was so well done. Each time I thought I was figuring it out, there was another twist I didn’t see coming. Very well executed. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC audiobook.

Everyone in this book is HELLA sketchy, and most of them are just plain terrible. 

Idyllic island off the coast of Thailand and hot young travelers looking to escape their pasts under the facade of a life of leisure. What could go wrong?

Not going to lie, I was here for this. A twisty, trust no one, full of red herrings type of read that I just crave every now and then. Was it a bit predicable? Of course. Was the writing the best? Of course not. But I throughly enjoyed it. 

Looking for a mindless, last minute end of summer thriller? Read this book. Planning a trip to a secluded island in Thailand for a full moon party and some diving? Maybe wait until you get back.

I didn’t like the ending 💪
But the story itself was interesting along with the characters
For a first novel this was very well written 😋
