emily_mh's review against another edition

I had no idea that this book would sensationalise mental illness for tension and drama before going into it. I have finished it, but for that reason I won’t be rating it.

Riley's second book doesn't disappoint with plot twists especially at the very end. Yes, for me, another page turner because I had to know what happened and was surprised, then realized angry, not at Riley at the character, if you have read it you'd understand why.

Again, loved how I jumped from pointing fingers at almost everyone to being completely wrong and I love it.

If you're looking for a good summer thrill then go back to camp with Emma where 15 years ago her fellow bunkmates disappeared and were never found. She comes back to find out what happened, but is history doomed to repeat itself since there are those that have also come back that were there 15 years ago?
