Raised in the sleepy Connecticut town of Pine Grove by an undertaker and a coroner, Paislee has seen more than her fair share of death, and she’s right at home amid the morbid and macabre. She’s happy enough to spend her last months before college cobbling together a history of the place she loves most and studying the lives of the people buried in her backyard, but when the body of a classmate turns up face down in the lake, it’s Paislee’s time to shine.

[I got a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review] actual rating: 3.5
I love a good murder mystery and I always enjoy sleuthing and guessing who the killer is. This series makes me think of Nancy Drew a little bit although the feel is quite different.
I enjoyed the family aspect of the story as well as the friendships although I'm not a big fan of the romance and it's one of the reasons why I wasn't able to give it a higher rating. The plot was quite intriguing and I was expecting an intense thriller murder mystery that's very atmospheric but instead, there was a bit of romance and contemporary vibe which I don't mind but just wasn't expecting based on the synopsis. I was hoping that the plot focused more on the murder plot which took a while to unravel since it started out with the MC breaking up with her not-so-boyfriend leading up to a short background of the MC and her family before getting to the murder mystery. I did enjoy meeting the different characters and checking for clues and it was quite challenging to guess who the killer is which is quite refreshing as I tend to usually know or have a hunch as to who at the first half or so. I enjoyed following the crumbs along the way as I met new characters or suspects which made the plot more fun.
There were just times when I thought the story was going one way but then it goes another but not in an epic-plot-twist kind of way. I don't mind a little romance although I was hoping for a more spooky, suspense, and intriguing kind of vibe instead of a contemporary - mystery kind of vibe but nevertheless, it was a fun read with a brilliant theme.

When the effects of a hypnosis-inducing drug fade, April slowly begins a conscious awakening. Memories of her past are unclear and she has no recollection of her identity or her whereabouts. As the days slip by, April realizes there is more to life than existing when she is introduced to an occupant who does just that - her sister. The more she learns about her environment the more she wants to escape. Will April remember her past, her sister? Will she have the courage to leave? And if she does, where will she go?

I got a copy of the audiobook in return for an honest review.
The story started out with a vivid yet mysterious world building that really puts you in the shoes of the MC and really immerses you in the setting she's in. The progressions was a bit slow for my liking only because the description was very detailed so if you're into that, you'd definitely enjoy it more.
The introduction of her sister, B2, was quite timely and she definitely brought a different sense of curiosity and added some amusement. The ending gave meaning to the title which was a nice touch although there were some details I wish the writer included to address the questions that remained unanswered. Although these questions could be answered in the sequel, I would have wanted it to be able to stand on its own even with the sequel especially since there's a specific element and goal the writer can focus on for the sequel.
In terms of characters, I didn't grow fond of either MC's although April was a strong lead. I wish I got invested in them more but just that wasn't the case. The plot was definitely interesting and captivating although, as I've mentioned, there were some blanks that needed filling.
I would love to read the sequel though hoping to find answers to some of the questions left unanswered.
