MY THOUGHTS
THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND PUBLISHER FOR THIS ADVANCE REVIEW COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.
Wilder brothers are known for being rich and dangerous dares in their final year of high school. Marley and her friends are not fond of Rhett (the wilder brother in their class) as dares in the past have destroyed people’s lives but they also can’t say no. As Wilder Brothers have dirt on everyone. So they had to accept the dangerous task assigned to them but no one knew this task would make them murderers. They can’t share about it otherwise their future will be destroyed. This shared secret is making their friendship weak and Marley is witnessing rapid change in everyone’s personality. They are walking on eggshells but it can’t last forever.
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from it but surprisingly I liked the concept. Although there were several loopholes and half-baked logic still I didn’t lose my interest. Many of the characters were unlikeable and kinda one dimensional. Rhett’s character had potential but it was wasted. The ending kept me on edge but the final twist was not my cup of tea. People might like it but for me, it was sudden and should not be that abrupt. Overall, it was a good read.
