Good thriller, fun times.
Had a lot of fun solving the mystery behind the killings and seeing the characters come to the same conclusions I did (*mumbles* if not a bit slower than me but hey they got there in the end)
Overall, I think it was a good mystery thriller that keeps you interested all the way as it not only deals with the mystery but also the secrecy and drama between the teens which was *chefs kiss* very tasty♡︎

This was a fun, quick read (though I like Gretchen's Possess more.)
Thank god this was book was short. I was not enjoying this book for the majority of it, and I was only motivated to see if the twist was as predictable as I thought it would be. Thankfully it wasn’t. But, a good twist does not redeem this book. A mystery thriller needs to maintain a level of subtlety, which this possesses none of it. It tells you everything you need to know, and leaves zero room for interpretation from the audience, which is frustrating.
Another thing is the inconsistency in the characters. At one point, the author literally states the protagonist is “an observer”, and yet the character misses glaringly obvious observations, and doesn’t even admit there is a murderer with the group until halfway through the book, and after 3 deaths. The author also has a habit of negatively portraying those with mental illness.
No bueno.

it was a great story where ’and then there were none’ meets ‘13 reasons why’; already liked the writing from the start; seemed a little young adult if it wasn’t for the more aggressive killings; good but basic plot/story, nothing new, just over done but wasn’t bad

This was two stars because I enjoyed the book like I would a cliche horror movie and there was nothing really new or interesting. The writing actually was really good and kept me hooked (in fact I read this in one sitting) and the general setting was respectably spooky and interesting. The plot itself was like agatha Christie meets I know what you did last summer and full of cliches and idiotic moves on the characters parts. The characters were pretty typical for a horror story but regardless it was a fun read, just nothing ground breaking, unique or thoughtful. But I don't think it's supposed to be so I enjoyed it for what it was.
I thought this book was alright, it is a rendition of Ten Little Indians, but modernized. The plot was slightly predictable, and over all not that scary. Reading it I was just waiting for something completely terrifying to happen, but it didn't. I must give it kudos though for being entertaining.

Very good! Enjoyed the plot twists. The ending surprised me a lot :) Felt like I was watching a creepy movie. Very easy to get through and I enjoyed it, but definitely isn't in my top list of thrillers.
