Pluses
* Engulfing plot (despite not being totally original)
* Fast paced & action packed
* Nerve chilling sequences as the 2 sisters kill their prey
* Quick read
Minuses
* Though interesting, nothing extraordinarily unique. Feels like just another suspense thriller.
* Plot seems to be a loosely based on the Agatha Christie classic And then there were none. More recently seen in Nine Lives by Peter Swanson. Basic formula remains the same, served in a deceivingly new concept.
* Suspense these days has become easy to guess unless you really pull off something wild! Not here.
Verdict
Good one time read for fans of thrillers. Won’t miss much if you decide to give it a pass.
