The Only Survivors - Megan Miranda
She read
Release Date: April 11, 2023
Cassidy is lured to the tenth annual reunion of a group of former classmates. Yet, it is not a happy occasion for what the reunion commemorates is an accident involving two school vans in which ten students and two teachers died. There is a big secret about the accident that the survivors are harboring and already two of them have subsequently died. Now, it seems someone may be on to them and is after the truth. Are they being stalked? Why did one of the deceased’s phone mysteriously appear? And then a storm hits the Outer Banks making their escape all the more perilous.
Told in two timelines, past and present, the story slowly unfolds. Don’t expect a fast paced thriller. I thought the unfolding a bit tiresome….I kept reading quickly not so much to find out what was going on but to finish the book.
The characters were not particularly likable; I didn’t engage with any of them. However, they had all been through a traumatic experience and are racked with guilt, so perhaps personality faults are to be expected. The book is quite atmospheric. Some will find it tension filled; I didn’t.
Megan Miranda is a talented writer. I have read other of her works that I have liked better, and I look forward to reading her next release.
