You're So Dead by Ash Parsons
4.0
This YA-murder mystery thriller was a really fun read about 3 best-friends who sneak into a social influencer exclusive luxurious Pyre Festival located on a tiny, isolated island (a mockery of the real failed luxury music festival, Fyre). Turns out Pyre Festival is rather…..a murder festival as the small group of 12 gets killed off one by one. They try to figure out who the killer is amongst them & survive. THis book was definitely inspired by Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None (which I’m currently reading!)
While it was a bit odd at first, it got pretty exciting as people started dying off. It reminds me of the game “Clue” which was my favorite childhood game. I love story/games involving about a large group of people & one of them is the killer – it’s really fun trying to figure out who it is! Not that I’m morbid or anything but reading this is like when you can’t stop watching a stupid horror movie with dumb young adults making idiotic decisions. My favorite character was Warix cause he was such a troll and he had some really funny lines.
“This is hell” Warix said, “Did we all die in the kitchen? ‘cause this is definitely hell”.
“Warix asked, that snarky smile taking on a mean twist of game recognizes game. ‘Don’t you get it?, This is all deliberate’.”
The romantic subplot was distracting & reading about the main characters feelings about another character was distracting and felt out of place.
Author Ash Parsons is a graduate of Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Clown College. How cool is that?
