Bad Things Happen here was an incredibly addictive YA thriller, with flawed but compelling characters, twists turns and deadly secrets that had me glued to the page!
It’s set on an idyllic island of, inhabited by the uber wealthy—Parris has hidden its dark and tragic history behind a veneer of glitz and glamour for decades. It’s a place haunted by the unsolved deaths of countless young women-including Luca’s best friend Polly. All Luca wants to do is heal from her grief of her loss, but after a drunken party Luca returns home to find the Police at her house… Her sister,Whitney, is dead.
With the help of the new girl next door (Naomi) Luca decides to take the investigation into her own hands and find out what exactly happened that night. But nothing in Parris, is ever as it seems and the secrets it’s hiding at just be deadly…
I really enjoyed this and loved just how suspenseful it was. I was fully immersed int he small town, close friendship atmosphere and was on the hooked by all the lies and secrets that Luca uncovers—my perceptions of characters was constantly changing and I loved that!
This is the first book I have read from Rebecca Barrow and it certainly won't be my last. I really enjoyed her writing style and it was such a fast paced book, along with the short chapters, which made it even quicker to read for me. The themes of betrayal in this book were so well done, and had me on the edge of my seat. The cliffhanger though, all I can say is WOW. I really hope this becomes a duology or a series so we can find out what happens because that ending has me questioning so much. Please go read this!
