It was supposed to be the perfect prom weekend getaway. But it's clear something terrible happened when Claire wakes up alone and bloodied on a hiking trail with no memory of the past forty-eight hours.

Now everyone wants answers--most of all, Claire. She remembers Friday night, but after that . . . nothing. And now Kat and Jesse--her best friends--are missing.

What happened on the mountain? And where are Kat and Jesse? Claire knows the answers are buried somewhere in her memory. But as she's learning, everyone has secrets--even her best friends. And she's pretty sure she's not going to like what she remembers.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: While I enjoyed this book, I have to admit that I guessed the twist way before it was revealed.

Kara Thomas is one of my favorite authors of young adult thrillers. I’ve read them all, enjoyed them all (for the most part), and am always excited when I find out she’s releasing a new book. This one was one of my most anticipated reads of July too because it’s been about 2 years since she’s released a book and I needed my Kara Thomas fix! Was it as good as I hoped? Yes and no. The author is known for her epic twists and unfortunately, I guessed this twist WAY before it was revealed (like almost immediately when things started taking a weird turn). Did that take away from my reading experience? To a point, but not enough to completely turn me off the book. The way she writes is GOOD and as everything revealed themselves it was fun to watch the characters reactions. Sure, I wasn’t personally shocked, but I enjoyed the journey anyways.

I don’t want to talk much about the plot because I want readers to be able to experience it on their own and I definitely don’t want to reveal anything important in case readers don’t guess the twist prior to it’s reveal. If you don’t that’s wonderful! I hope you enjoy the twisted nature of it (because YES, it is twisted!).

Before I end this review, I want readers to know that this book may be triggering for some. If you’re concerned with what these triggers are then you can read my small spoiler here:

SPOILER ALERT
child abuse, suicidal thoughts, death, alcohol and drug abuse, and incest (it’s merely mentioned towards the end but nonetheless makes you want to vomit....


𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗦 𝗢𝗙:
• Young Adult Thrillers
• Books with shocking twists
• Authors like Karen M. McManus, Jessica Goodman, and Courtney Summers

𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
