Shiver by Allie Reynolds
3.0

3.5/5 stars
It’s been 10 years since Saskia went missing, and now she has officially been declared dead. When Milla receives an email invitation for a reunion from Curtis, Saskia’s brother and her long time crush, she can’t pass up the opportunity to see him again. But the reunion doesn’t quite go the way any of them had planned. It’s turned into a game no one is ready to play because no one wants their secrets to come out.

I love trapped type stories like this. But I thought the flashbacks were a little overwhelming at times. I also wasn’t the biggest fan of the characters in this one. They all seemed nuts, like actual psychopaths and it made it really hard to sympathize with any of them. It hit a point at the end where I couldn’t believe all of them had survived their 20s because they were that nuts. And I thought that the flashbacks took away from the overall story because there were so many of them. I felt like some of them were very unnecessary to the overall story.
At the same time, I did fly through this book because I was very curious to figure out what was happening. Still an overall good read though!
