Mind games. Murder. Mayhem. How far would you go to survive the night?
Blackmail lures sixteen-year-old Ava to the derelict carnival on Portgrave Pier. She is one of ten teenagers, all with secrets they intend to protect whatever the cost. When fog and magic swallow the pier, the group find themselves cut off from the real world and from their morals. As the teenagers turn on each other, Ava will have to face up to the secret that brought her to the pier and decide how far she's willing to go to survive.
For fans of Karen McManus' One of Us is Lying, Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None and films like I Know What You Did Last Summer.
My Review:
I had such a blast reading this book! The synopsis had me intrigued, and this book kept me hooked, I had to read more, to see where this story was going to go! The idea of a group of teens being blackmailed to come to this place, and then all this crazy stuff starts happening, yeah, it sounded really good and the was so easily read!
The setting of this isolated carnival park, where someone has brought them there with their secrets, yeah, it was such a thrilling set up, and the atmosphere helped build out this story. It was creepy and tense, and as the bodies started pilling up, was perfect for this story!
All these characters have their secrets, that's something that everyone knows, and is a typical teen experience. To be killed over them? That's not a typical teen experience. Getting to know these characters and why they were there, I had to know more, to figure out what was going on!
When the truth came out, yeah, that was pretty shocking. That was pretty unexpected, but after all that they had kept secret, and what they went through, I loved it! Dealing with it all, well, that was pretty complicated, but I had to know!
Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Kathryn Foxfield!
