A bachelorette party on a remote island? Sounds fun… until it turns dark, intense, and seriously creepy.

Ten years ago, four women vanished without a trace on this same island. Now, a group of friends is back for a celebration, and let’s just say… not everything is what it seems.

Our main character, Tessa, begins to sense something isn’t right almost immediately. The island feels off, and the group’s long-standing tensions bubble to the surface fast. The suspense creeps in slowly but steadily, building an unsettling atmosphere that keeps you guessing the entire time.

Told in a dual timeline (which I LOVE), the story moves between past and present so seamlessly. The tension builds with every chapter, and by the end, I was literally speed-reading to find out the truth.

Not all the characters were likeable, and that honestly made it even better. I had a few theories, but the twist still got me. So satisfying!

If you’re a fan of thrillers with dual timelines, intense female friendships, isolated settings, and big reveals, you’ll want to read it.

This thriller was such a fun escape. And that cover? STUNNING.

Thank you so much to @stmartinspress for the e-ARC of this wild ride!
