challenging dark tense fast-paced

It was full of suspense and kept me on the edge of my seat most of the time. 

This book focuses on two girls who drive to go to a party but things quickly turn for the worst. The plot was interesting and I was hooked! I couldn't stop reading and I wanted to know what was going to happen. This book does talk about the dark side to frat houses and how boys can be which is scary ! Overall I really enjoyed this story, it was an easy read and easy to follow along.

Laura and Olivia are true friends and you can see their friendship in this story and how important that played a part. Olivia never gave up on Laura and wanted to save her even tho that put her at risk. She uncovers the horrible things Kyle has done and how horrible Tony really is. Olivia and Laura have gone through so much and Kyle was so horrible but even though Tony saved them from Kyle, doesn't mean that Tony was a good person as he was so horrible to tish. Tish didn't play a massive role in the story but was still important either way. The ending was bittersweet as Ava finally got to rest and all the bad people got sentenced. I just love how story Laura and Olivia are ! They never gave up and kept trying to fight to live.

Fast paced. Moves quickly. I enjoyed it.

I was on chapter 16 and was bored with the plot

Loved this book, I couldn't put it down! Quickest most suspenseful read.

dark fast-paced

Not a bad thriller! I don’t like when they flash between existing things and something in the past. This book does not do that! It’s a race from the start to finish and the main character is reasonable and easy to root for. They make some questionable choices but they’re also exhausted and terrified so it makes sense. The twist ending was a little bad and predictable. It relied more on the plot than the characters.

page turner

This was really a page turner. I didn’t want to put it down and read it in one sitting. I was able to guess the mask men in the beginning but I really wanted the why. The only issue I had was the Volvo’s time. That was never explained since it’s really taking place at 9pm and not 3:03. Did the dash time really not work and it was her placing her survival time numbers in its place? I mean that’s what I’m taking away from it. Regardless I enjoyed the read.

Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

certainly not a bad book, and the quick pacing makes it almost unputdownable. however, i found some of the writing very repetitive and waffle-ish, especially when it came to the main characters’ inability to make decisions. 
the plot was pretty predictable but nonetheless a decent book and one that goes quick enough to help ease anyone out of a reading slump.
