Solid horror! Good mix of emotionally-driven scenes and paranormal stuff. Sometimes cliche plot points but the story is told so well that it doesn't really matter. I read this in less than 24 hours - a quick, gripping, spooky read.

Everything I wanted Nine Perfect Strangers and Season 2 of Yellowjackets to be. Solid mystery, good amount of twists, fun to figure everything out alongside the characters. Real strong

One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.

I just didn't care about any of the characters anymore...everyone felt like a stereotype and nothing was compelling even after

the storm hit the island

. I had a hard time believing any of these couples actually loved each other and the pacing was just meh.
