Kept Me Interested
Goldie Easton only feels safe at Camp Alpine Lake.
Even when she was too young to attend, she has always had a special connection to the place. The camp is the lifeline of the small town of Roxwood, where Goldie lives. It provides jobs, money and prestige to the town. However, very few Roxwood locals get to experience the rewards of living so close to the summer camp - with it's five-figure tuition and the crowds of rich kids whose parents have dumped them at camp for eight weeks. Goldie is one of those locals.
Even though Goldie is a "townie", she has never felt more at home at Alpine Lake and this summer she is back as a counselor. She is desperate for the summer to start and for her best friends, Imogen and Ava, to arrive at camp because she needs the comfort more than ever now that she is keeping a dark secret.
When a teen is found dead in the lake one night, it is discovered that Goldie isn't the only one keeping secrets. The death looks like an accident but Goldie knows that that's not the case. She also knows that Ava was at the lake the same night as the incident.
Did Ava see anything? What does she know? Why hasn't she mentioned anything to Goldie? Did Ava have something to do with the death?
However, asking those questions only leads to broken lifelong friendships and surfacing hidden dangers and betrayals.
I enjoyed reading The Counselors. The suspense was well done and kept me interested the whole time.
