4.5/5 stars
You read books like these and you always wait for the big twist when one of the “good guys” turns out to be a bad guy. The Only Survivors follows a group of 7 (formerly 9) who survived a horrific car accident when they were in high school. Every year they get together on the anniversary of the accident to check in on each other, make sure no one looks like they’re going to break and talk about what really happened that night …
With flashback throughout you slowly learn what happened hour by hour after the crash, going backwards from when they were found and ending with what led to the crash. I have to say, part of me laughed a little towards the end. Not because it was bad but because I really did not expect the story to go the way it did. There are subtle hints throughout the book but I really just wasn’t expecting it to go the way it did and I thoroughly enjoy it when that happens in a book!
Really looking forward to seeing what Megan Miranda comes up with next!
