I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC copying of this title in exchange for my honest review.
The description reads “ Most people’s births aren’t immortalized in a police report—but Olivia was born during the infamous Camp Lost Lake murders. Seventeen years later, Olivia’s life looks pretty perfect . . . until she discovers the man she calls dad is not her biological father. Now she wants answers about her bloodline, and the only place she knows to look is Camp Lost Lake.
Most people don’t spend their formative years on the run with an alleged murderer—but Reagan did. In the court of public opinion, her mom was found guilty of the deaths at Camp Lost Lake, and both of them have been in hiding ever since. But Reagan believes in her mother’s innocence and is determined to clear her name.
Luckily for Olivia and Reagan, Camp Lost Lake is finally reopening, providing the perfect opportunity to find answers. But someone else is dead set on keeping the past hidden, even if it means committing murder.“
The description was what drew me to this book as I had not read the authors previous popular title “How to survive your murder” but after reading this book I look forward to picking up a copy of it. While the book was overall predictable I haven’t sorted whether that is just me, a reader who doesn’t get surprised often or if it is easily figured out by typical readers. Either way it is a very enjoyable read..
The story moves along swiftly and is very engaging. To put it in perspective, I had started reading a sequel to a popular title that I had been looking forward to but when the ARC got approved and I reads the first chapter to see what I was in for, I ended up setting the other book aside in favor of this book which I finished within the day.
I enjoyed Olivia and Reagan’s journey and the fact that while love interests were present, they weren’t the focus where attention got diverted away from their goal. The author does a good job painting the imagery of the various places within the Camp making it very easy to picture it.
The copy read was a true ARC that had not had its final proof completed. I’m hoping that in the final copy that they include a map to aid in keeping things in relation to each other.
This book is perfect for both YA readers as well as adults who enjoy reading about younger individuals but it still has a well rounded “meat on the bones” quality to it with the adults in the work as well..
Lastly, it has just the right amount of thriller content for the intended audience. It gives a taste of the horror of multiple murders without going overboard.
I give this book 4.25 stars out of 5. I really wish Goodreads would bring their rating system into the modern readers rating system.
