This is the fourth book that I’ve read from this author and it did not disappoint. I kind of-sort of knew what the plot was going into it based on short summaries but I didn’t expect it to be what it was (in a good way). That shark scene though?! Bonkers. The ending was crazy and creepy. Did I still read it and recommend this book to friends afterwards? Most definitely lol. Check the TWs as this book is not suitable for anyone under 18.

I found this book very hard to finish.  Even downloaded it in audible to help me finish it.  I didn’t care for the characters.  The mystery part of the book is what kept me interested enough to just finish it.  So glad it’s over!
