Summer's Never Over by Darby Bozeman

BOOK BLURB

Five years ago, Greer left her family’s summer camp in the mountains of Georgia and vowed she’d never return. An idyllic season had turned into a nightmare after a mysterious Phantom began stalking the camp—and ended with Greer’s friend and fellow counselor dead. Losing Steph shattered everything, and Greer’s been fleeing from the grief ever since.

But then Greer’s mother dies, and Greer finds herself back at Dread’s Cove, surrounded by the people she was closest to that intense summer. Two ex-boyfriends—one a childhood sweetheart, the other the guy she’s never gotten over—and old friends. Including Margo, Steph’s best friend.

Greer and Margo didn’t leave things on the best of terms. But now, Margo needs her. Margo never believed that Steph’s death in that horrific fire was an accident—and she’s on the trail of an explosive secret Steph took to her grave.

Greer has to make a choice: keep the Cove’s secrets and her own, or finally face the truth about that summer.

MY REVIEW

A woman, Greer, returns to her family’s summer camp after five years away. The last summer she was there was tragic, there was a mysterious stalker and a friend died in a fire. Current day, her mother has passed away, and Greer returns to the camp she swore to never visit again.

Summer’s Never Over is an atmospheric thriller. The story has plenty of secrets and drama. The characters were mostly unlikable, and kind of annoying. The characters are in their mid-twenties, but this reads a lot like a YA thriller.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
