"*WARNING THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS* *Thank you NetGalley, Delacorte Press and Natasha Preston for this e-arc. Even though I bought immediately when it came out lol*
Well this one was a heck of a lot better than The Island for sure!! But first off, I thought this was about a ghost or something based on the title but uh, she fooled me lol. I immediately knew this was going to be good based on the fact that I couldn't put it down! Natasha naturally kept me on my toes, especially with the spooky vibes it gave with it being around Halloween! I will say it usually until the last few chapters that I start to piece together everything, so I knew Grace and Omar did it, but I will say she got me in the first half not going to lie lol! But, the grammatical errors were very noticeable and I just couldn't deal with it. Also, I don't know if she meant to do this to confuse the readers but the characters would say one thing for their alibi and then when asked again not 20 minutes later it's a completely different alibi...Along with them not questioning their messages not being answered or things like that. I honestly thought her parents were behind it lol, I don't know why but they gave off that feeling. That ending though!! I have a feeling Nash shot Zayn, it just seems right also Zayn's character was kind of on the "weird side", especially after he found Penny at the movie theater based on his "instincts", yea uh huh, try again! But anyways, I loved this and I want to say thank you again to NetGalley, Delacorte Press and Natasha Preston for this e-arc."
"Great book! Was totally hooked with this story line. But GOD her endings are often frustrating but I think this one might be the worst.
****SPOILER ALERT***
I can not believe it was Grace and Omar. They were not ones I had guessed. AND WHO TF GOT SHOT?! Normally with her endings I can make up one in my head based off what I am given but for this one I’ve got nothing…"
"So good wish it was longer though I was so obsessed and the two people that was revealed as the killers was so unexpected I totally recommend if you like a good murder mystery/forbidden love "

"Such a good book. This book is an absolute must. This took me out of my reading slump. It gives me scream vibes, so if you like the scream movies then this perfect for you. Betrayal, Grief, Kidnapping, Murder, Death, and Blood, mystery, romance. "
