Who’s All Going (To Die)? by Lisa Springer
I enjoyed this one quite a bit, but know going in you’ll be suspending disbelief. I don’t know about you, but sometimes knowing that the situations are implausible is what makes the story so fun.
Ariana is stoked to get away from home for a bit, thanks to an invitation from her new friend Oakley. Oakley’s parents own a wellness retreat in Barbados, and they’re offering to bring Ariana down for free.
Everything about The Dream retreat sounds good, but then Juniper-Moon, a wellness influencer, started to offer some strange activities. There are bee venom facials and strange mushroom tea ceremonies, yet those are the tip of the iceberg: there are a host of disturbing things happening around the island retreat.
Ariana wants out. But getting out may not be as easy as it seems for her or her friends. What was promised to be a retreat may, in fact, be deadly (Spoiler: there is a body count!).
