While trapped in her sister's house during Hurricane Harvey, Jia is trapped with her family and a killer.
I enjoyed the twist at the very end. I figured out who one of the killers was, but not the other one. I found it easy to figure out some of the twists, about half, but the other half just came out of nowhere.
Other than Ishaan and Vipul’s brother, I don't want to spell his name wrong, none of the characters were likable. I even found Jia annoying. I think some other POVs might have made other characters more likable. But it would have made it too easy to figure out the killers. Seema especially was just awful!
Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
The narrator did an excellent job. I wish there had been more tonal shifts as other characters talked.
