While there is a mystery, it isn’t really clear from the start and certainly isn’t on the same level as Sadie. I enjoyed it enough and it had some suspenseful parts, but not one I’ll be recommending to everyone I know.

It seems I side with the majority in saying that this wasn't what it proclaimed to be. After reading the summary, the reader expects this to be a mystery set in an amusement park, and the story is that to a small degree. What the summary leaves out is everything else. How Ivy spends the whole book asking fellow amusement park workers questions regarding Ethan's death. How much time is dedicated to Ivy working at Fabuland and thinking. How there is never a mystery like the synopsis claims. The author attempted to build suspense with multiple characters speaking in riddles to Ivy, but the secrets fell flat upon their reveal.

The twist was easy to see from the first chapter since this character's words and actions screamed "look at me! i'm acting and talking inappropriate!" and so the reveal wasn't a reveal. The lack of suspense and mystery was instead filled with Ivy's train of thought and characters speaking in code to not reveal anything to Ivy.

The pros of this book were the amusement park setting, how it took place in New Hampshire, and Ivy's dedication to her best friend even though Morgan shut her out during the whole book.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC.

Ivy Cork is the daughter of an amusement park owner. Recently one of the park employees was found dead, and Ivy's best friend seems to have had a mental break because of the situation. Ivy starts asking questions and discovering things about people that she probably didn't want to know. All of the pieces in the puzzle come together in the end.

I was hesitant to like Ivy because she wasn't very tactful when asking the questions she needed to ask, and her lack of tact was getting her into hot water with just about everyone around her. She wasn't quite as bad as her father though - I pretty much wanted to smack him through the whole book. The use of setting through this novel was beautiful; I'd never really read anything set in an amusement park, but it was definitely the perfect setting and perfectly utilized here.. This novel was also very well paced. Readers get a glimpse of the whole picture at perfect times, and everything finally comes together at the end.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.
