Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas
1.0

Sometimes the most shocking revelations are the unacceptable truths.


This might be another "Red Queen" to me, a book all really love but some hates; but this case, this case is underrated, WAY underrated. And once again after reading and watching a lot of crime novels, the twist here ain't shocking at all. Plus a lot of YA novels which have a twist in the end, revealing the killer - the killer must be (a) someone we know, (b) someone that that is related to the MC, (c) someone the readers might take pity or find a "bond", and (d) the killer of course is either manipulative or have another identity. (But still a lot of my favorite films are like that -
SpoilerShutter Island and Identity
).

As much as I wanted to give this more stars than Red Queen, I really can't. The book is similar to the TV series and movies, I watched even the motives the events happening, they are just placed on another island. The "killer" is my suspect from the start (actually the only one suspect). I think multiple POVs will be better for this book.

If you want to read this try watching these instead
SpoilerPrimal Fear, Identity, Gone Girl (read the book, too), Shutter Island (read the book, too) and maybe the original The Tale of Two Sisters)
