red is on a spring break road trip with her five friends, but it quickly goes downhill when their RV breaks down and no one has cell service. a shooter is threatening them to reveal their secret, and no one’s sure who among them is trustworthy.

i LOVED a good girl’s guide to murder, so i was super excited for this when i found out about it! i don’t read a lot of mysteries, but i’ll always read ones written by holly jackson. this book gave me so much anxiety and got super close t ...more

This was not my favorite book by Holly Jackson but I still really enjoyed it.

Jackson knows how to keep me hooked! ...more

It was a page turner! I really liked the twists and turns and that Oliver finally got his justice. The characters were well developed and I really like all the interactions within a high stress environment! Really great read.
