Eight girls went missing on a school trip to Hollow Lake National Park. After 46 days, five return leading to many questions and few answers. As Evie and the other remaining “Lost Girls” try to navigate a return home, they are haunted by the three girls they left behind and what they did during their time in the wilderness. Now someone is coming after the survivors and those involved in the tragedy, picking them off one by one. Evie must decide if the only way to survive and protect the ones she loves means a return to the island and the horror it holds.
A paranormal horror that plays out in dual timelines. The overall plot is
intriguing, but the execution is average. There are too many characters to
keep track of, which leads to confusion as the reader attempts to keep
track of who is in danger, who is missing, who is dead, and who is a
suspect. The supernatural aspect never comfortably sits with the story
causing a disconnect for the reader.
