For fans of Karen McManus' One of Us is Lying and films like I Know What You Did Last Summer, comes a gripping thriller about murder, mystery, and deception.
Blackmail lures Ava to the abandoned amusement park 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. 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. The teenagers have only their secrets to protect and each other to betray.
Review:
A fast paced, twisty thriller that had me hooked, so much so that I devoured it in one day when I should be revising for my A Levels.
I was expecting a murder mystery sort of book but the supernatural elements of this novel were something that I actually enjoyed, because the author managed to pull them off very well.
The setting of an abandoned carnival was brilliantly creepy and the perfect backdrop for nights of mayhem and chaos.
The use of unreliable narrators and fast pacing left you feeling like you weren’t entirely sure what was happening or who was doing what, which I think Foxfield intended so that your emotions mirrored the characters’, which dragged you further into the novel in an effort to get to the truth.
Really enjoyed this supernatural thriller and would definitely recommend those who want a quick read with not too much thinking involved.
Rating: 8/10
