<i>The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.</i>
In this book, five friends (Maylee, the blogger, Nolan, the conspiracist, John, the popular, Petra, the controller, and Abigail, the girl-next-door) go to a weekend camp because Maylee had the idea. Something happens around midnight, and Maylee disappears, leaving the other four to look for her.
The whole book is about them telling the story to the police after they called to find his body.
I could resist getting the arc when I read about the story, and I didn't get disappointed with this choice.
The book is all narrated by the four characters telling their views of what happened and also about the person that is Maylee with everything that happened in the past and present revolves around her and her ideas.
It was an interesting idea and one that I would have liked to read more in style for having embarked on the pace of the mystery, or maybe it was the way the author wrote that made me like it so much.
Maylee is the only character that we don't have the pov but she is the main character because everything revolves around her and how everyone moves because of her actions.
Petra is a character with a difficult personality but who cares a lot about the people she cares about and is the one who gives us more information about Maylee and certain events of the night.
John is a good young man and I wondered why he was dating Maylee and how complicated everything is for him on the police force because of his past.
Petra's brother Nolan goes on the trip at the insistence of their parents and a conspiracist bigfoot conspiracy theories, and it was interesting to learn more about how this obsession started.
Abigal is a nice girl and at first, we don't understand what she's doing on the trip, and end up becoming very important to give more information about the event.
I recommend this read for the mystery experience, I won't consider it my favorite mystery of the year, but it came close.
