One by one, they will get what they deserve... "I stayed up all night reading this book and loved it!" --Amazon A night spent sleeping on dirt and leaves is not how Claire Matchett expected to spend her vacation. She thought this would be a break from the stresses of work and raising her young children. A chance to repair her damaged marriage. A week of hiking and hot tubs with two other couple friends. It sounded like heaven. Then Claire's minivan breaks down on a lonely dirt road. With no cell reception, the group has no choice but to hike the rest of the way to their hotel. But it turns out the woods aren't as easy to navigate as they thought. Hours later, they are lost. Hopelessly lost. And as they navigate deeper into the woods, the members of their party are struck down mysteriously one by one. Has a wild animal been hunting them? Or is the hunter one of them? But as more time passes, one thing becomes clear: Only one of them will return home alive.

I just accidentally stayed up till 3:30am reading this, i cant not rate it 5 stars
This was an interesting fast-paced thriller. The story quickly gets started and doesn't let up until the end. The book is narrated by Claire and a mystery anonymous person and the whole book I kept theorizing on who they were. It did surprise me at the end and took a turn from who I thought was the killer! The characters were all unlikeable, but I guess it was the point, it made everyone feel suspect. I also enjoyed the epilogue and the little zinger left at the end.
The big thing I didn't like, but was essential to the plot point, was the cheating trope. I found it annoying, as well as the characters involved.
3.25
Like all the other Freida McFadden books this was very fast paced, engaging, kept me hooked but the ending really let me down I didn't like it.
Throughout most of the book it felt like it was a 4 star or 4.25 but that ending lowered it down to a 3.25.
3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was alright. It was a basic “picked off one by one” thriller. The writing was okay. The characters weren't super likable. I didn't love the twist but I didn't absolutely hate my time reading it. Just wanted more from it.
