NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • #1 bestselling author Natasha Preston is back with another pulse-pounding, twisty read!

Are you invited?

In the heart of the English countryside, Bessie and her closest friends gather at a remote castle for a secret party destined to make this the best spring break ever. But when the first of them dies, the party takes a lethal turn.

As the body count continues to rise, Bessie and her friends must contend with a deadly storm and growing internal suspicion, all while trapped inside with a killer.

Set against the backdrop of a sprawling English estate, Natasha Preston's latest thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat until the party’s over…

An ok read

The storyline did move along and there were many twists and turns making you wonder if the killer was among the party members or someone from outside the group of friends. Then the thought - was it this person or that.
To be honest, I am not sure High School kids fit the scenario - the sneaking away for a fun weekend, yes. But some of the rest . . . .
At every turn I kept expecting a take on the April Fools movie -

Not a bad read - but I think if this wasn’t for a book club I might have returned the book.

Also, nearly every time the narrator said Allegra or something like it, Alexa would pop up her ugly head and disrupt the book reading. Overly so. So annoying and eventually the audiobook became quite the chore just to get through it - gave me a bit of an headache! That’s not the authors fault - except maybe don’t use words that sound like Alexa. And that is Audible’s fault.

An occasionally entertaining slog

I understand this is YA, but it was overly too simple. Also, it was just the same thing over and over and over again. This book could have been half the size. Also, it’s just a bunch of spoiled rich kids with zero personality. The ending was just straight up dumb. No resolution. The narrator made all the dudes sound like everything they said was a pickup line. Pro: I like the genre. The author is literate. Good atmosphere

Ending so tough

Then ending was a full on cliff that has so many unanswered questions. I wish I hadn’t started this. :( though it was excellent up until that point.

boring

to long of Chapters and the chapters where of the same thing almost. Never got to the point. draged on each chapter. was boring.

good but not as good as the others

I enjoy everything Natasha has ever wrote since The Twin.
this one was good but not as great as some of her other books.
I enjoyed the story though and it kept me guessing.
