I found this entertaining & frightening. I could not stop reading last night and today.
Were pieces of this story unbelievable? Absolutely yes. Were there lots of notes in my kindle that have a question and an obscene amount of question marks behind them????? Also, yes.
But this book scared me. Last night I had to turn on lights because I was getting creeped out. And this book tricked me. I thought I had the ending all figured out, but I talked myself out of it. I should have noticed the clues, but I didn’t other than giving them a brief highlight. Even when my brain was thinking this doesn’t make sense, I talked myself out of it because I thought it was just bad writing. I love books that trick me honestly rather than books that trick me with deception and a lie at the end. All of the facts and clues will be given to you to figure out who did it.
I really enjoyed the gore and details that this author employed throughout. Overall a surprisingly enjoyable read and reminder of why I don’t do group vacations or vacations longer than one week.
