Everyone knows the legend of Fairport Village: twenty-five years ago, a shocking murder closed the place down. This year, the ruins will be bulldozed at last. But tonight, it's not too late to die.All her life, Eden Stafford has heard the lore about the abandoned beach resort at the edge of town: ever since the notorious murder there, anyone who sets foot on the property is cursed to die, It's more than just a story: over the years, two high school students who dared to explore the ruins of Fairport Village were killed there.Eden is no stranger to notoriety, having endured a family scandal that's made her a target at school. So when she reluctantly attends an overnight party at the ruins, she's on edge--not because of some legend, but because the clique that has made her life hell for years is there, too, including Caleb Durham, the worst of them all.Yet out of all the things Eden expected to happen that night, finding another student dead at Fairport Village wasn't one of them.Though the death is ruled an accident, Eden knows she saw something suspicious at the ruins--and Caleb and her other longtime tormentors did too. Now they're all being followed by a deadly stranger, and to save themselves, they must work together to uncover the truth about Fairport Village. But after all that's happened, can Eden really trust Caleb and his friends? Or will they leave her to face a killer alone?

This was rather entertaining. I love anything in abandoned resorts/theme parks so the setting was a plus. Yes, there was some of the usual YA stuff: two characters not communicating & assuming what the other was thinking, an historic misunderstanding to start off the animosity, & the almost ubiquitous love triangle, but it all worked here. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf There were one or two good twists & turns in the plot & the ending was strong. Overall it was a good YA mystery thriller & I enjoyed it. 4🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Sourcebooks Fire, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

I‘ve listened to an hour of this and don‘t remember a bit of it. There‘s a haunted house, they‘re making a movie or documentary, and that‘s as much as I know. I don‘t think it‘s the audiobook. I didn‘t mind the reader and there‘s other characters that have voices. I think for me I need to read the story to get everything out of it. I‘m still not sure. I couldn‘t understand if they‘re high school students or college. I didnt keep my attention.

Ichaso‘s latest #YAThriller surrounds the abandoned— & considered cursed— property along the beachside cliff tied to four deaths before a new body count starts rising after the senior class hosts a party on the grounds. Eden‘s outcast by most peers in the wake of her father‘s embezzlement & disappearance, but when she helps a film class acquaintance with his documentary on the curse, she‘s drawn into investigating & getting close to old friends.

Sace Sounds really good! Adding to my wishlist right now. 1mo
