Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six by Lisa Unger

2.0

---

Unfortunately I just didn't like this book. I think that the core of the story was intriguing, but it was executed in a way that felt unnecessarily drawn out. There were too many POVs and most of them, like the cabin host and even Cricket, didn't add enough to the story to justify having their own chapters. There are other ways to distribute information to a reader without putting us in the eyes of every single character. Similarly, I think that I would have appreciated the story more if it was more refined. It's the nature of many thrillers to try and throw you off by pointing in different directions, but in this case I felt more bored than intrigued by the mystery stories. The entire ghost element didn't need to be added since it wasn't really flushed out. I probably should have heeded my inner warning signals and DNF'd when men were described as "virile" more than once. Not my vibe.
