Welcome to Litsy!

Another YA read this month, but this one is a survival thriller instead of fantasy.

It has a bit of a slow start, but it picks up in the second half. The character Claire was my favorite. She constantly thinks the worst is about to happen, and that's something I can relate to.

The read has suspense, some supernatural aspects, and a believable friendship bond between the girls. And I did appreciate the twist at the end.

3*This book was slow. I started in October and didn‘t finish it till the end of November. Three girls are sent by their parents to a summer camp that no one want to go to. This summer camp is someplace their parents went when they were young and just decided you‘re going. There wasn‘t much online about this summer camp so all the girls are a “little what am I getting into”. Their parents have told them to make the most of it, make new friends,

Claire, Reyva, & Mariana are late arrivals to summer camp. They are dropped off at the dock & hike up to the lodge. It's very quiet - too quiet -& there's a strange smell in the air but Claire can't quite place it. When they reach the lodge, it has been burned to the ground & it seems that there were no survivors. The 3 girls are now trapped with little food & water, no phone signal, & no-one will come looking for them for over a month. (Cont.)

4⭐
At times this tried too hard and came off as somewhat melodramatic…but otherwise, it was engaging and I never saw this going in the direction it did. It vibed with Lost (the TV show) in quite a few aspects, which is probably what I liked best about it…although this had a better ending than the show did. So, that may be why it got a whole 4-stars from me…despite being disappointed by the choice to go with only one narrator.
