@kendalls.court.of.books • ⭐️⭐️⭐️ • . . Synopsis : Esme and Kayla return to their childhood camp but this time as camp counselors where they’ll have to deal with the secret that they’ve kept for 10 years. . . Not gonna lie I absolutely hated this book in the beginning / middle because I felt like it was highly predictable. I could guess what was going to happen to happen, when it was going to happen, and who was going to be involved but the last third of the book was top tier and makes me want to recommend this book to all you mystery lovers. . . One thing I really wanted to see out of this book was I wish the main characters were a little more mature. I understand the book was YA so I recognize I might be being a little harsh here but since the two girls who accepted to be camp counselors and were about to go to college I expected a little more maturity out of them. I also wanted to see a little more in the descriptions, part of the reason I didn’t like the beginning / middle was there was so much dialogue but not enough descriptions about the surroundings and I feel like the surroundings, scenery, and location were crucial to the story. . . The reason I loved the last third of the book though was because there was so much happening that I wasn’t expecting. There was less dialogue and more descriptions and more raw emotions from the characters. If the rest of the book matched this energy it would have easily been a five star rating from me.

About the Book
Seventeen-year-old best friends Esme and Kayla return to Camp Pine Lake as counselors in training, but the dark secret they have been hiding for nine years is back to haunt them.Book Synopsis
The instant New York Times bestseller! Hot on the heels of The Twin, the undisputed queen of YA thrillers is back with a scary and suspenseful read about a summer camp filled with dark secrets. Esme and Kayla once were campers at Camp Pine Lake. They're excited to be back this year as CITs (counselors in training). Esme loves the little girls in her cabin and thinks it's funny how scared they are of everything--spiders, the surly head counselor, the dark, boys . . . even swimming in the lake! It reminds her a little of how she and Kayla used to be, once. Before . . . it happened. Because Esme and Kayla did something bad when they were campers. Afterwards, the girls agreed to keep it secret. They've moved on--or so they say--and this summer is going to be great. Two months of sun, s'mores, and flirting with the cute boy counselors. But then they get a note. THE LAKE NEVER FORGETS. And the secret they've kept buried for so many years is about to resurface.Review Quotes
