heggoandhoggo's review against another edition

I had already listened to the audio book so I knew what happened. I asked for it for Christmas but I wasn't expecting to get it. This meant when I actually got it I didn't really want to read it.

This book is good. But it can be quite Graphic.

quite a few people die

There is a case of borderline

abuse lots of the gory stuff happens before the book starts and the book is sort of a reaction to it. One of the characters experiences lots of suicidal thoughts but you find that out early on.

A fire is lit late into the book but one of the characters dies by a car accident before the book starts

CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS!! Mysterious letters arrive inviting students to a murder mystery themed scholarship dinner for a $50k scholarship. It seems legit, until they arrive and things go horribly wrong. This dark, twisty ya mystery explores revenge and how loss can affect your psyche. So many twists and turns kept me listening for more. This book is very dark and could be quite triggering for many people, so I would seriously check the trigger warnings. However, this book was not very remarkable and did not stand out much from the other mysteries I have read before. I could predict many plot points. I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve read so many in this genre, but I am just not very affected by this book. I probably won’t remember it in a few weeks. It was fairly good, not bad by any means, it just didn’t stand out compared to the others I have read in this genre.
