You wake up in a fancy rehab facility in the middle of nowhere, with no idea how you got there or who is paying for it. Shenanigans ensue.
By the same author of The Dark, I get the feeling that she doesn't like it if her characters can interact with anyone else, they must be contained somewhere inescapable. I know that's in lots of books, but it just sort of felt like the same book in a warmer climate.
It had that annoying thing where you've spent chapters trying to solve the mystery and then appears the best friend's cousin's dog who is key to everything but has never been mentioned other than maybe one line on page 7.
I guess what I'm saying is, it was alright, but I'll have forgotten reading it within six months.

Zoey wakes up in a luxury rehab facility in the Mexican desert after a night out, with no memory of how she got there. As she slowly comes to accept that maybe she does need to be there, people start dying...
I really enjoyed Haughton's [b:The Dark|56750252|The Dark|Emma Haughton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1611041979l/56750252._SY75_.jpg|88695589] and this is a similar premise. People trapped in an isolated location with a killer. But unfortunately, this one wasn't quite up to the same standard. The characters weren't very likeable and it was all very unbelievable. I didn't hate it, but wouldn't recommend anyone rush to read it.

I found this book engaging. The main character wakes up in a remote place with no idea how she got there. Turns out she is at a wellness retreat paid for by a mysterious person. Her life has not been going well, she is more existing than living.
I loved the premise of this book. It is the second crime book by this author and it was extremely well written. I’m excited to read more by this author.
