I liked this story and really any one where the girlies fight back. I liked how the story all came together, and I was really interested in the fictional island. Lux is a wild name for a character, though haha

Predictable and slow, until the end when it all felt rushed.

This was a good mysterious thriller! There’s some parts that are slightly eye rolling because people just need to talk for like 5 minutes and clear this up but otherwise, it’s a cool setting on the island. There’s a ton of twists and turns and I was interested in how it was going to end!
