REVIEW 

Thank you to TBR and Beyond Tours for the eARC in exchange for my honest review! 

 

When a group of friends goes on a spring break trip in an RV, they don’t expect to break down in the middle of no where, and they definitely don’t expect to be hunted down by a sniper who knows their secrets. 


This was a gripping thriller with all the twisty elements of a classic Holly Jackson novel! She made it easy to feel the tension and fear cumulating in the group as they were picked off and exposed with such a confined space. I love stories where each character has a dark secret they want to keep hidden, it gives so much added depth and curiosity, even if the characters are unlikeable because you want to know what they are hiding. I loved the Good Girls Guide to Murder series so it was no surprise that this would be a top notch read for me! I was nervous to see the follow up to that beloved series but I think this was an excellent new route that kept the same essential vibes we all love from Jackson


With a slower start, this story unfolds into an action-packing ending full of surprises. Some things I ended up guessing but it didn’t detract from the fun of finding out the bigger reveals! If you like dark YA thriller mysteries I recommend you check this one out! 


About the Author:

Holly Jackson was born in 1992. She grew up in Buckinghamshire and started writing stories from a young age, completing her first (poor) attempt at a book aged fifteen.
