About this listen

Yellowjackets meets One of Us Is Lying in this masterful survival thriller from New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst.

"Formidably scary, Durst's survival/horror story is the stuff of late-night campfire legends. With three deftly drawn, powerful girls at the center, reading felt like I had found a crew of clever, loyal best friends, even as I stayed up long into the night, trembling with dread." E. Lockhart, #1 New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars

Claire’s grown up triple-checking locks. Counting her steps. Second-guessing every decision. It’s just how she’s wired—her worst-case scenarios never actually come true.

Until she arrives at an off-the-grid summer camp to find a blackened, burned husk instead of a lodge—and no survivors, except her and two other late arrivals: Reyva and Mariana.

When the three girls find a dead body in the woods, they realize none of this is an accident. Someone, something, is hunting them. Something that hides in the shadows.

Something that refuses to let them leave.

I’ve see a lot of reviews of this book saying nothing happens and while in an see where they’re coming from I disagree. No, this is not a fast paced, slasher style book however the friendship really shines in this books and I think it’s characters are a main focus. The plot is a bit on the slow burn side but I enjoyed it. I felt like it gave me time to get to know the characters and as a result I really cared about what they were going trough and what their outcome would be. I had a really great time with this book.

Fun summer read

A group of “flawed” young women meet and think they’re on their way to summer camp, it couldn’t be further from the truth. This feels to me like a YA horror novel. The descriptions of issues people had were so realistic it gave me a better connection to the characters. The survival aspects were well done .
I have enjoyed everything that I’ve read by Sarah Beth Durst ever since her first novel was recommended by Tamora Pierce. She’s very good with characters and often has unusual and creative ideas.

This is a good thriller for summer! I was not sure what I was expecting but the twist for *why* everything was happening was a very interesting surprise. The three main characters all develop and grow throughout the book

Creepy atmosphere and a surprising supernatural twist

Really enjoyed this YA thriller! Lots of time in teenage girls’ heads, but I couldn’t stop listening to see how it would all shake out.

Super fun page-turner

However, the story was hard. but I couldn't stop at the same time. I don't remember seeing if this was marked as a "coming of age" story but it totally is. I had a hard time relating to the characters at times. There was a lot of repetition in the writing for each character.

The performance was great.

SO. MANY. TROPES. The title and summary of the book intrigued me but I found that it was just horrible. The narrator is good, but she doesn't have much to work with. One character is especially annoying and if you read this book you'll see what I mean. I would have liked this book as a teen, but I don't think it's for adults...imho. It's shallow. It's not scary. It tries to be interesting and creepy but it falls way short. All in all, a waste of my time.

Seems Like A Book For Teens

The narration was great but the story fell completely flat to me. I kept waiting for it to get better but it just kept getting more nonsensical. I LOVE this Author so I was expecting to love this. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed.

Wanted to love this...
