Kara Thomas

3.68 AVERAGE


This is a YA mystery about 3 best friends. They spend the night at a lake house, with plans to go camping on Saturday. Sunday rolls around, and Claire is the only one found. She has no memory of anything that happened Saturday, or Sunday. Kat and Jesse are missing, and Claire is going to do what she can to figure it out.
This book was written really well. I’m always drawn to the premise of one survivor, and finding the clues out as we go. It hasn’t always been written good, but Kara does an excellent job. I like how the story is broken up into sections, and the way everything comes perfectly together. We are left with no questions and all the strings tie together.
Even though we don’t get a lot from Kat or Jesse throughout the story, the ending gives us the right amount of information to see character growth and change.
I really, really felt bad for Kat. I wish things could have turned out differently for her, and Jesse is just disgusting. Iykyk.
I didn’t really have a solid idea of what could have happened through the story honestly - When we got near the end of the book I was thinking of it going an entirely different way than it did but the ending was so much better than what I thought was going to happen.
The characters are written well. We see a lot of different kind of personalities being portrayed, but they all build and we see good character development with a lot of them.
I recommend this!

Over the past couple of months I have flown thru each and every one of Kara Thomas’ novels with the exception of Lost to Dune Road (which I am about to start on Audio) and The Champions.

I was pleasantly surprised - and impressed - with this storyline and the twists.

She has yet to disappoint me!
slow-paced

lying. secrets. truth.

if the grandma had just been honest, none of this would have happened

the lesson i've learned: TELL THE TRUTH

what the fuck

I have no idea how to feel about this book. I have so many questions.

Literally… this book had me in the biggest chokehold… AND WHEN THE POV’s CHANGED!? Oh my god the biggest plot twist ever.

Kara Thomas is actually such an amazing suspense writer, this thriller is actually a great book to start with if you like mystery or thriller and wanna get into it. I think it is a good buffer too, not too big and something that you can definitely get hooked.

Amazing writing!!
