I liked the atmosphere of this book, it does give similar vibes to Yellowjackets. 

I don’t know what to make of it to be honest, mostly because it felt too short and like we were thrown in right in the middle of the story. I am not a fan of the ambiguous ending as well. Basically felt like just reading the middle of the book. 

It left so many unanswered questions about the Tox, the experiments, Camp Nash, and their parents. 

Maybe I’m behind but I feel like the cause of the Tox and why they were kept on the island for so long was never fully explained which took away from the book. 

I did like the gore and the concept of the Tox, very creepy. 

Boring and predictable. Audio book narrator voice was too quiet for the book. I expected a campy horror comedy type, I guess not. Character was interesting but plot was not.

           I surprisingly enjoyed this book. I thought from the first couple chapters and how Quell was written that I would not enjoy it but I became invested in the plot. The book was still a bit too YA for me but I would have loved it when I was younger. 

Many things went too easy for Quell in the beginning that made me not like her but she grew on me. It was hard to believe that her mother would just tell her something that she kept hidden from her all her life.

The pacing was a bit off, with the first part going by really fast but then in the middle kind of lulled with the more mundane things were written about. 

I loved the chemistry between Quell and Jordan throughout the book but the proclamation of love at the end felt unrealistic since it was only a few months together. 

The twist wasn’t that shocking to me as there was some things that made suspicious/not like the Grandmother.

The most maddening thing about this book is the absolute lack of fan art! there was NOTHING besides what was posted by the author herself. This book’s premise/descriptions are the perfect inspiration for fan art.

         I loved the premise of this book with the tv show style and seeing all the same things as the characters. I was full in on this book trying to solve this case short of a murder board. It was so fun!

I did not solve it but I didn’t care because the twists were done so well each time. The identity change and all the lies involved, so good!

The first identity change was really good but the next were kinda annoying plot wise.

I was suspicious of some of them from the beginning like the sisters from their texts so the false ending made sense but there was too many plot holes left for it to work.

It was really interesting to see how almost each member of the team was involved with the case in some way, it really pulls you in to the story and it also distracts you from who the real perpetrator was.

I felt really bad for Guy at the end, since he blocked it out for so long. The ending though, was maddening! Especially since Bill was looking for the sister and she was seeking revenge this whole time. The Met was the same this time around, not looking closely enough at what happened.

I did a combined audio-ebook read and it was a great experience. The audiobook was superb!

         This book is my new obsession. I bought it right after finishing the ebook.

I loved the atmosphere it created with Dellecher and the plays. The writing was amazing, it really immerses you into the story before it really even starts. 

At first the Shakespeare took getting used to but I quickly got into it and it really added to the atmosphere, adding that melodrama. 

I really liked how the dynamic of the group shifted throughout the story, with starting out as a tight knit group of friends and devolving as soon as Richard started acting out. I loved how Richard’s presence haunted them even after death, it was like he was the sole reason for all their problems even in death. “Holinshed was wrong: Richard didn’t want to be remembered well—he had never been so forgiving. He wanted to wreak havoc on the rest of us.” 

Looking back Oliver was very oblivious to not only his own feelings but how he was viewed by the others and especially James.

He saw himself as James’ sidekick while James saw him as his love. I sobbed at the end all through Oliver taking the blame to the epilogue until the letter. I don’t know if the letter makes it better or worse knowing James is most likely alive or that despite that he’s alive but he and Oliver can never be together. Romeo & Juliet indeed.

Filippa definitely knows something about James, “She knows everything.” He frowns, eyes nearly disappearing beneath his thick brows. “People always forget about Filippa,” I add. “And later they always wish they hadn’t.” She’s the secret keeper.

        I loved this book! It gave me Scream Queen plus AHS Coven vibes. 

The premise was so cool, loved the atmosphere of the sorority and the witches. 

This was very YA even when it was set in college/university. But this read like a movie/tv show and I loved that. But I would have loved more behind the scenes detail since we didn’t see much of them growing their powers. And I would’ve liked more detail with the time skips so we could know how much time had passed. 

A third pov for Tiffany would have been amazing and would add so much with her set on vengeance mindset. Gwen’s character was terrifying in a stalker-gonna-turn-violent way, the authors did a good job at making her a suspect. 

The authors do a great job of making you not focus on true villain and making other people the suspects. 

I loved the foreshadowing/flashback of the prologue and how it was tied in.
