The Unwedding by Ally Condie
3.0
dark mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Thank you Grand Central Pub and NetGalley for the eARC of The Unwedding.  All opinions in this review are my own.

I have been such an Ally Condie fan since reading the Matched series and Atlantia so I was excited to read her adult book.  This thriller had the perfect set up for me with the guests getting trapped by a storm at the elite hotel.  Unfortunately, I found the thriller parts of this story to be lacking.  I felt like there weren't enough hints or enough tension built so that when the big reveal happens, I was more confused than shocked.  Despite not loving this one, I think Condie still has the talent to make an excellent adult thriller.
