Exotic reptile shop metaphors aside, I really enjoyed this book. The twists were fun and I kept being like “whoa, what?“ with each plot addition. The last act and ending had me reeling! Good book 🙂

“Walking onto campus the first day of senior year feels like walking into an exotic reptile shop.“
This is one of the oddest metaphors I've read in a long time 😂

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)

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.
