I loved the idea of this but disliked the execution. I was expecting to be more at the edge of my seat but I was more annoyed than anything. I’m not sure if it was because the first twist was spoiled for me or just wasn’t the book for me.

This book does not get talked about enough. I’ve seen a couple of times on my fyp and most of it was positive feedback.
It was fresh and thrilling and full of suspense. Soon as Ashley was revealed to be the culprit, it all went down hill fast. He is a sick piece of shit and damn he pissed me off so much. Poor Lars, I know I shouldn’t pity him but I kind of do. It’s obvious that it’s all Ashley’s idea, everything.
Sandi deserved to die but not poor Ed, I knew he was innocent and not in this scheme. It was a fun intense movie playing inside my head. I though Darby got killed but no she lived. And I’m so happy she did. She was just so brave and I know it’s a little unrealistic. Anyone would fold during such situations but she did not.
She protected Jay until the very last moment. What’s so wholesome was how Darby asked her about dinosaurs when she was in extreme pain, trying to distract her from the gore scene in that place. The pinky promise before she lifted her severed pinky to Jay. That was f a little bittersweet.
Overall this book was new and fresh to me. And that’s all that matters, I enjoyed it so much.

I literally couldn’t put this book down. It moved so quickly and the tension was so believable. Even though it was fast paced, the characters were well developed, especially Darby and Ashley. I especially liked the use of multiple POVs as a character building tool for the protagonist.
I need to see more of these characters, especially Darby! I’m not sure how a sequel would work based on the ending, but this was one of the best female MCs I’ve ever read.

This was a SUPER FAST PACED, easy read because you just want to know what happens next and can’t stop turning the pages. I had a feeling about the first twist only because reading so much had made me extremely suspicious and certain that there is no easy solution. My only gripe (and it’s not even that bad of a complaint because I understand it keeps the story going) but I just felt like there was one insanely unrealistic/inconceivable plot line after the next and by the end I almost felt like it was TOO much - but I still enjoyed the book a lot and feel like it would make a really good movie!
