Blurb:

Spring break is a vibe—until someone gets murdered

Partying with popular classmates they barely know is not what Eva and her BFFs had in mind for their spring break. But things have been off ever since Miles’ academic career took a turn for the worse (they don’t talk about it), so a trip to a private beach lodge might be exactly what they need. And Eva won’t admit it, but the chance to reconnect with Colton is worth putting up with Piper’s constant livestreams to her thousands of “besties.”

At first, it’s all sand and waves, but tensions run high when an anonymous letter shakes up an already-flailing love triangle.

When someone turns up dead, Eva can’t even trust her closest friends—but she thinks she can trust Colton. As they get closer to the truth, they uncover secrets that upend everything they thought they knew about their fellow spring breakers.

Why I Want to Read This Book:

Last summer I read a thriller/horror novel about a group of friends who go away to a beach house for July 4th and get trapped in the path of a hurricane getting picked off one by one (the book is Summer Rental by Rektok Ross). This book gives me those same vibes. Tense friend dynamics, destination setting, secrets, and murder. I’m all in for this one!
