3.5/5 Stars
Claire, Reyva and Mariana think they are heading to Camp Lake House, in the middle of the wilderness for the summer. When they arrive, they discover that there was a fire, leaving no survivors. Then they find a dead body in the woods, and quickly learn that they aren't the only ones on the island. Someone is hunting them and they need to work together to survive until they can be rescued.
Based on the cover, I thought it was going to give spooky/horror vibes, but I didn't get that from this. Although enjoyable, I was hoping for more than just a generic survival story. I wanted mass murder and destruction. I did like the friendship that developed between the girls through out the story. I liked how much they helped and supported one another, especially with Claire's panic attacks. I did think the twist ending was interesting, and I liked the angle it took, for the most part. The ending, ending annoyed me a bit but alas, you can't win everything.
Overall, a very quick read, but I'm not going to lie, I don't think this is going to be anything memorable for me.
