A very quick read.
I read this book after reading ‘Escape Room’ by the same author and if you saw my review of that one, you know that I didn’t love it and this one was just confusing.
3 teens are staying in a secluded farmhouse while studying for exams while being threatened. I don’t really understand the title ‘Stranger Danger’ after reading the whole book, I expected an absolute thriller but didn’t get it.
The characters were quite unlikeable, everyone is wrong and none of them are good people. There are so little descriptive details and some of the names are unisex so for most of the book, I thought the main character was male and that they were all older then they are, when I realised they were teens then one of the main storyline’s became A LOT more problematic.
I will admit that the twist at the end was good, very good but that might be the only redeeming quality. I am surprised that I got some sort of review out because I didn’t even know where to start when describing this book.
The red flags and triggers in this book is off the charts.
