by Jamie Day
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Overall this wasn't for me. There were some pros and cons within the story
Pros - The lakehouse setting was great
There is a come around moment at the end of the book that is pretty fun given how it starts
Cons - The characters are all extremely unlikeable.
There is simply too much going on. The story feels convoluted.
There are areas where the dialogue was a little cheesy and borderline immature.
The twist was interesting but I didn't think it made up for the list of cons to provide an overall really enjoyable thriller to me.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
