Pros:
- Santana was definitely my favorite, I loved her personality and the way she was written.
- If you’re like me and don’t live on the coast you can forget how devastating and dangerous a storm can be. Ruth Ware does a good job of reminding you. The build up, arrival, and immediate aftermath of the storm were all well written.
- The build up of tension was well done and kept me on the edge of my seat (the payoff is a different story…). Reading Lyla’s thought process as things devolved helped in understanding how things got so bad, especially with the group dynamic.

Cons:
- It took a while for me to get into the groove of the story; it was really hard to believe that Lyla would agree to being in a reality tv show.
- The marketing did this book dirty, it is not a mystery. Publishers need to stop comparing books to And Then There Were None, they’re setting their books up for failure.
- The ending was severely lacking. I can’t say more because I’d like to keep it spoiler free, but it left me wanting more.
