The Liars Beneath by Heather Van Fleet
2.0

I feel like this book was trying too hard to toe the line between romance and thriller and ended up being neither. We didn't really get to know Rose, so I was left not caring about her death. I saw every "twist" coming, which left me wondering if they were really meant to be twists at all. I did enjoy the romance between Ben and Becca (which we all knew was coming, so it's not a spoiler), but it definitely detracted from any building suspense. But with all of those complaints, it's still compulsively readable. So maybe it's just a guilty pleasure book for me, who knows?
