I really liked this book! It’s a nice, short and perfect-for-Summer thriller. This is also my first Kiersten White book, which makes me even happier because I also have And I Darken & The Guinevere Deception on my shelf. The writing was a great mix of 3rd person narration combined with the characters’ inner thoughts. I initially thought that keeping track of the 14 contestants was going to be bothersome, but White does it in in a way where its clear she kept that in mind. I would’ve liked a little more of an ending, but given the dedication of this book, I think it was perfect. I can’t wait to read more by her!

I Hated all the characters, they didn't have any personality except for the stereotypes.
None of the characters had any chemistry with eachother.
The ending sucked.
