Bad Graces grabs you from the very first sentence and you'll struggle not to read this fast paced novel in one sitting. For Fans of the shows The Wilds, Yellowjackets & Lost, also books/graphic novels like Wilder Girls & The Cull.

Liv earns the chance to visit a movie set alongside its stars (with a tiny bit of subterfuge), unfortunately on the way there they begin to run into troubles that start on the yacht. Mysterious reactions from the ships captain and a storm find these six stranded on an island. Shelter, food, water and injuries become the least of their concern as they discover a monster.

The island's mysteries grow as changes occur to our survivors all whilst they struggle to survive and find a way home.

Bad Graces was a riveting read, I'll admit that I'm a sucker for island survival stories in whatever format! The romances were great and I loved all the character dynamics, they were all really fleshed out characters and a lovable group. Liv's ingenious survival methods that helped the group against all odds were standout (that makeshift net!) highly recommend giving Bad Graces a read!
