sooo disappointing. I loved the set up - felt very secret history ish and I think author managed to create really interesting and compelling world of the family's vacation complex - but I felt extremely let down by the ending, the non-climax basically. Insane choice

Spoiler

to make everything hinge on family getting their money from nazis (which also hello very obvious) and then 1. that totally fizzle out in the next page and 2. the mc just throws up her hands and is like ok can't beat 'em join 'em!!! where 'em = nazis!! insane.

Parts of the beginning honestly felt like it was getting set up for magical realism/cultish thing (like, when they make cryptic ominous remark about 'helping' strange yachts who get too close? ) but yikes
