Read my review of the first book in this series: The Last Party
Publisher’s Synopsis:
“They say the camera never lies.
But on this show, you can’t trust anything you see.
Stranded in the Welsh mountains, seven reality show contestants have no idea what they’ve signed up for.
Each of these strangers has a secret. If another player can guess the truth, they won’t just be eliminated – they’ll be exposed live on air. The stakes are higher than they’d ever imagined, and they’re trapped.
The disappearance of a contestant wasn’t supposed to be part of the drama. Detective Ffion Morgan has to put aside what she’s watched on screen, and find out who these people really are – knowing she can’t trust any of them.
And when a murderer strikes, Ffion knows every one of her suspects has an alibi . . . and a secret worth killing for.”
My Review:
Wow, a second book in a series that I actually enjoyed way more than the first, unheard of!
This was a really exciting story, with equal parts mystery plot and thriller atmosphere.
Like a Survivor show gone wrong, where everyone has secrets, and we have to puzzle the pieces.
Even if you didn’t totally love the first book in the series, I’d still recommend giving this one a try. I thought the concept was much more intriguing, and I was totally hooked into it.
I also like the side characters way more in this one too.
I love that we got to go deeper into Ffion’s personal and family life, and her budding relationship.
I love Clare’s writing and ability to build suspense.
You’ll be hooked on this twisty, fun, fast-paced read, with a snarky, lovable detective.
