This was pretty much the only “spooky” book I read in October, and a compelling one it was!

Barbara Van Lear, the rebellious, misunderstood daughter of the wealthy owners of Camp Emerson goes missing one summer morning. Through the eyes of different characters and timelines, we follow leads as they come in piece by piece. 

Linear timelines can be notoriously hard to follow, but I had no trouble switching POVs nearly every other chapter. Each character was unique with important pieces of the story, or at least dislikable but interesting enough to not skip over. The book was on the longer side, really allowing for character development, and threw in a few delicious twists that readers might be able to pick up on. Overall, the summer camp vibes made me a bit nostalgic and the mystery kept me entertained to the end!
