I don’t give a lot of books 5 star ratings but this one kept me guessing while also making me feel like I knew what was gonna happen. It’s a fast read for me and I genuinely enjoy the storyline.

Flat, lifeless characters who were also both mean-spirited and utterly without depth. Paper-thin backstory.

I won this book through goodreads and loved it. Started a bit slow for me but then the characters started to intermingle. Interesting dynamic between the characters- maybe a few too many plot turns- some were very effective- and while I hated the ending; it was very fitting

A decent quick read thriller! The story kept me engaged and while I did guess some of the plot the big twist at the end was a genuine surprise.

I picked this book as my free Amazon First Reads book (not sure what month). 
It was a wild ride. I hated everyone!! 
I was 12 pages in when I made my 1st note "WTF?!" It only got crazier from there!! 
At 30% I wouldn't have cared if they all died, in fact, I think they all deserved to.
60% OMG!!!!
95% Yeah okay...... Good, it's over  
Part of why it is 3 stars for me is I couldn't believe these people willingly hung out together no less went on a hike, I don't care that they were related, they hated each other. But it is 3 stars also because I know I will still be thinking about this book next week, possibly next month, or even next year!! 

After the acknowledgement section I am more than a little worried about this author, she said the quiet part out loud in writing!! You are a crime writer you know better LOL

So, there is a lot going on in this book. Not all of it great. Honestly, I found the characters annoying, to be honest. So much unnecessary drama between two sisters who can't seem to get along for anything. Both are having marriage issues that just add to the drama even more. 
I'm not sure I would recommend this to anyone. I just found it a bit much, nothing believable. It was all just petty bullshit. The ending was about the only decent part, and even that was predictable.
