I don't even know how to explain this book without giving some spoilers.. i am just like wtf just happened ( )

This was a great thriller and I will definitely look for more books written by Clare McFall in the future. I love the alternating points of view between then and now, Heather does a great job of narrating but not telling the story. On a side note, I am going to start calling my husband Dougie, now that I know it is a nickname for Douglas! ( )

I just couldn't get into the writing style. It felt cliché and tropey from early on, but the plain writing style needed some extra attention. This isn't a thriller that I would recommend. ( )

Awesome thriller. Had me interested from start to finish. A real page turner. 5 Star book. ( )

Readers are set up nicely right from the start of this very dark and twisted tale. Heather, in a psychiatric facility with a badly maimed hand, is being interviewed by a psychiatrist. There are hints at the story she told nearly a year before about the series events that took place near an ancient burial cairn. Next thing you know she's flashed back to the trip where she, her best friend Emma and crude older boyfriend, Darren, Smart and quiet Martin, and Dougie, the boy she's seriously crushing on are off to the Scottish coast for a four day camping trip in part to celebrate Dougie's birthday.
Things quickly deteriorate, Darren insists on buying plenty of booze, his car dies and a day later, Martin walks off in a pounding rainstorm and can't be found. As the rest of the events of that camping trip unfold, there are more mysterious and very frightening events, more flash forwards to Heather and the psychiatrist that give you a better picture of what supposedly took place on the beach. When you get to the end, however, there's a superb double whammy that will have readers sitting up and going 'What the heck?" ( )
