Hold on to your hats because this was quite the roller coaster! A group of parents decide to head to  "Parents Weekend" at their kid's university not knowing that 5 students would go missing that night... super interesting premise. 

I enjoyed the narrative told from different POVS and the short chapters! I guessed some things but not everything which I always like. This was fast paced and had all the summer thriller vibes. ☀️At times I did have a hard time remembering who was who, so that was a bit confusing. Also ***POSSIBLE SPOILER**** that ending was so rushed and kinda a letdown with all the "peaks" we had. Meh.🙄

I would recommend.
