Literally didn't like any of the characters in this book (but I did read it fast so I guess that means something?)

Creepily captivating, I really wanted all the answers but more importantly...I wanted all the secrets!

This is a supernatural horror that was very YA and entertaining in the plot line but also how the teenagers would respond to what was happening. This felt like a crossover with Supernatural, Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars. I couldn't put it down.

Ten teens get an invite to an abandoned (carnival) island under the pretense that whoever invited them knew their biggest, darkest secrets. Once there, they become stranded and here enter the supernatural events. Each becoming more confusing while also unraveling answers.

It is always entertaining when those telling the story become unreliable and question their own string of events. Memories here come and go and who is know if your thoughts are your own or if they came from Whispers.

If you like YA, horror or any of the shows mentioned above then give this one a shot!

Thank you to Sourcebooks Fire, Kathryn Foxfield and NetGalley for the advanced review copy.
