I wish more had happened in this book. The characters were interesting, but the story just kind of wandered. Low pick.

My first Lisa Unger and from reviews I realize it might not have been the best place to start. A group of influencers are brought together for a game of hide and seek. Each one has a need for the $ prize and redemption, but a dangerous storm is coming and their famous hosts are facing a deadly reckoning. I too found it hard to sympathize with the characters, but it was an interesting plot. A 3⭐️story that kept me reading until the end.

The main character is referred to as a chaos muppet and that about sums it up.

Finishing up The Seven Dials Mystery for discussion with #ChristiesCapers enjoying All the Other Mothers Hate Me on audio, and starting We Love You, Bunny for a BR.

This book was just a mess. There were so many different things going on and side stories that I just didn't care about. There was no reason to care because there were so many characters, and they all were insufferable. I saw all the "twists" coming, nothing new, unfortunately. This whole book was just boring and following a bunch of unlikable people. I was so bored ? 1/5

I usually thoroughly enjoy Lisa Unger‘s books and most often read her backlist titles. Therefore, I was thrilled to place a hold on Libby when her latest thriller, Close Your Eyes and Count to 10, became available. However, this time, I was underwhelmed. The story heavily focuses on the unhealthy aspects of social media, influencers, and the pursuit of followers.

Nothing like finding the latest from one of your favorite childhood home state authors in your faraway neighborhood LFL. 🩷 #Wisconsin #California
