[Maddie]

HECK YES I'M READY TO PLAY!

[Maddie]

Do you update a lot?

How quick are you planning on reading it?

[Maddie]

XD Yeah I update a lot, especially as I read at my desk so it's easily accessible to get my first-hand reactions out.

Sounds good! I'll start this afternoon I believe, and finish tomorrow after work

[Nicole]

Can I join please?

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ I think I liked Maddy's point of view best so far, but there's no much to say. I also like the representation, so many diverse characters. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ It's so weird the bloody handprint is going up the wall towards the window, I don't know if it makes much sense. Everything is kinda weird so far, I'm not sure if I'm enjoying this or not. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ I have some guesses of who might be the killer, but I just feel like everything in the plot is a mess, I'm not connecting with the characters or engaging with the plot. Most of the time I'm just confused hahaha (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I didn't really expected Liva to be the killer, but thinking about it, it was kinda obvious from the start. The final chapters were pretty boring to me, to be honest, didn't catch my attention at all, and for most of the book I just felt like I didn't care about what was going to happen. I think the only thing I liked about it was the representation on the cast of characters, but they were pretty plain in my opinion. (hide spoiler)]

Yes! I love how Ever has they/them pronouns! I'm super intrigued already

[Maddie]

Just hit Chapter 4

[Maddie]

Anyone read more?

[Maddie]

Perfect! I've got a lot of BRs going on atm, so I'll keep pace with you :) Lots of updates will help with that haha

Em J. wrote: "Chapter 1

[spoilers removed]"

They do! I like the already established dynamic

[Maddie]

Does that include Chapter 4, or does it stop at the start of Chapter 4? That's something that's always confused me XD

2. Maddy is interesting... a bit more basic that the other characters, but she does have some secrets she's hiding
3. I really like Ever! They're mysterious and more emotional than t..."

(view spoiler)[ I love the diversity, not just in LGBTQ but also in class and mental health! I feel so sorry for Ever needing to look after Elle :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Perfect :)

How long are you going to be reading for?

[Maddie]

I agree! I like how it's just shoved us into the game, but I need some more background!

I like how developed Maddy is, and I like knowing now that Finn is also trans. So we've got Ever with they/them pronouns, and Finn who transitioned from female to male?

I liked Ever's sacrifice there! She's trying to atone, and Finn hurts me :(

[spoilers removed]"

I love how much of a quick read this is! And I'm glad we read this at the same time, that I was on same time as you. Will you be on same time again tomorrow?

[Maddie]

I don't really mind :) Just fun reading it at the same time :)

[Maddie]

I got a notification but no post?

[Maddie]

Oh phew haha that's okay. I've got a lot of other things to read atm anyway XD

[Maddie]

Perfect! I'm messing around with my brand new keyboard :D I will be reading a little as well, but probably not from this book. Got to catch up in my other BRs

[Maddie]

You read any more?

[Maddie]

Oh cool didn't read too much XD I can catch up

[Maddie]

Oh nice! Yeah I'm still on Chapter 11 or something. I just don't read on normal weekends coz I'm hanging out with my boyfriend. I'll try and finish tomorrow maybe

[Maddie]

I'll be finishing tomorrow I think!

[Maddie]

Oh no I might be too late to count this for BR points as I haven't picked it up for over 2 weeks XD I plan on it being a finish over the next few days (HOPEFULLY!)

[Maddie]

I waited too long XD I let the thread die. So don't get BR points for this. But that's okay! I'll finish either tomorrow or Boxing Day :)

Not sure who set this up, but wouldn't mind joining you.

[Jammin Jenny]

Sure join us!

9 Chapters (view spoiler)[ So far I like this story. It's hard to say if Liva is going to be okay now that her RPG character is dead, I'm thinking maybe her real character is going to die too. We'll see. (hide spoiler)]

16 Chapters (view spoiler)[ Yep I knew the Liva was going to die (or did she?). Carter died because he was stealing from Liva's company. Maybe Liva is doing it all...??? (hide spoiler)]

The end(view spoiler)[ I was right! It was Liva. Litle psychokiller... (hide spoiler)]

25 Chapters(view spoiler)[ Well, the three of them made it away from the cabin. I thought for sure Maddy was going to pop those pills! Still not sure about Liva - she could be a psychopath...but maybe it is Zak? Or maybe Damien? Nah, not him. (hide spoiler)]
