Five Survive by Holly Jackson

adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced

4.75

The fact that I read this in two days! I initially was so ready to give this five stars, but there is one small question that doesn't get answered that isn't essential to the plot but I still wanted answered. That being said, this book was so good. It was scary, thrilling, and SO fast-paced. I could barely put it down. Reading thrillers doesn't normally affect my dreams, but this one did. It essentially all happens in one night in one place, and she still keeps my attention so well! This is my first Holly Jackson book, but I will definitely be reading more. There were some of the smaller, earlier plot twists that I saw coming for a long time, but then others that I did not. I love that because it still seems realistic, like she didn't just throw something completely crazy in there for the sake of a plot twist. I had the opportunity to foresee all of them, but I didn't, and that's what makes it good mystery writing to me. This is one of the best thrillers I've read in a long time.
