Loved this one! I truly will purchase any book Rachel Hawkins writes even under her pseudonym! It was So good right up to the last page!! I did predict one of the twists but that’s ok because it was still satisfying

I really enjoyed this book. There were lots of twists and turns right up until the very end. I felt like the island itself was a character and had such a creepy feeling. Rachel Hawkins is fast becoming an auto author for me. This is a great beach read and I would recommend this book.

Fast, fun and suspenseful. Kept me on my toes! I really enjoyed the secluded island vibes. There were lots of twists and betrayal that kept me guessing. Another great one from Hawkins!

I absolutely really enjoyed this one I have been a fan of Rachel Hawkins ever since I read The Wife Upstairs. It had me at the edge of my seat but I do have to say The Wife Upstairs is still my favorite.

An adventurous story about relationships, friendships, and trust with a side of suspense and mystery. Rachel Hawkins has a way of making slow burns feel quick and interesting. I was not expecting that ending. Thank you to St. Martin's Press for my copy in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely one of Rachel Hawkin’s best if not THE best! If you love travel, tropical isolated locations but ALSO insane thrill, mystery and suspense; this book has IT ALL.

Didn’t hit the mark for me but love rachel hawkins regardless!!!! Bit of a slower burn and it just felt like the twist happened out of nowhere?!

I think I will read anything that Rachel Hawkins writes. I loved The Wife Upstairs and before that one I loved her Hex Hall series. I also love her stuff under her pen name.

With all that being said, I really did enjoy this book. It kept me captivated the entire time. I haven’t read an adult thriller in a long time. Partly because I found them all so repetitive. In Reckless Girls our characters get stuck on an island, I don’t know if there’s anything more scary than that! Such a perfect setting if you ask me.

One of my favorite things about this book was the flashback scenes. I loved how we were able to slowly piece the puzzle together based on those scenes.
I also want to add that by the end of the book I wasn’t mad at the girls. Does that make me a bad person? I don’t know 😅

This was such a fun and quick read. It took me far too long to pick it up and I’m kicking myself over it. My only complaint is the ending, it was too perfect if that even makes sense.

If you’re looking for something quick and exciting, pick this one up.

I got approved for both an ARC of the e-book and audiobook, which I have gotten about 3% of the way through. I just don’t see myself continuing reading this story after not finishing the author’s previous mystery/thriller book that has a similar cover.

Thanks to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for my gifted copy of Reckless Girls, by Rachel Hawkins. This exciting thriller is out now, and would be perfect for both a tropical setting, or to read during scary season!

Reckless Girls kept me captivated through the end. I loved the twists and turns it took, and how everything was never as it seemed.

I’m looking forward to Hawkins’ next book already!

This was not good and yet I finished it.

It was a struggle for me right from the start. I wasn't a fan of Lux and started reading reviews. The points made in several made me curious, so I pushed through.

The plot is non-existent. It's a lot of words for a stupid reveal. Juvenile characters, no tension, no thrillet aspect, and no actual mystery on the island (which felt like THAT should have definitely delivered for as much as the island history was thrown around.)

Overall, something kept me reading, so that's the reason for a 2 star rating. If I would have DNF'd, it would have been 1 star.

**Huge thanks to the publisher for providing the arc free of charge**

Lux McAllister hasn’t had it easy. Her dad left her mom and started a new family. She had to quit college to care for her ailing mom until she died and left her with no money. Working as a waitress just to get by she meets the charming Nico who is sailing to Maui and invites her to join him. Of course, things don’t go well and now Lux is cleaning hotel rooms to help Nico fix his boat. But, she loves him so she sticks by him.

One night they meet two best friends, Brittany and Amma who want to hire Nico for $50,000 plus pay for his repairs to take them to Meroe Island, isolated in the Pacific because they are looking for an adventure. I was raised on the premise that if something “sounds too good to be true it probably is”, but evidently Nico and Lux didn’t get the message. Nico and Lux agree to the opportunity and off they go with no worries.

When they finally arrive at the “deserted” island there is already another boat anchored there with a very nice couple, Eliza and Jake who provide the group with lots of alcohol and food. And then another stranger, Robbie, suddenly arrives in an old sailboat. At this point, I began to feel something sinister looming. Strange things begin to happen, alliances change and I began to dislike all of the characters immensely. However, I was still captivated by the story.

I gave this book three stars which means I liked it, although I did not love it. I thank NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

An adequate take on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, with a twist. A remote and exotic island, three beautiful women, two rich boyfriends. Who will remain standing?

Unfortunately, Rachel Hawkins adult works aren't my favorite. I've tried both of her titles and they're not for me. I found them kind of boring and just not entertaining. I will continue to read her under Erin Sterling though!

This was a rompy and fun eerie book that wove the stories of six strangers together into a page turner. It was gothic and brooding while still sexy, could be a great beach read or holiday read if looking for a book you can't put down

Rachel Hawkins does it again - and this was an absolute escape of a thriller. If you're looking for something to read on vacation while sitting with a frosty drink of some sort, you'll get through this one before you even have to reapply sunscreen.

This book is so twisty and just so good! Most of the twists are predictable, but it’s still very enjoyable. The ending was a little rushed, but overall I really enjoyed this book!

Initially, this book took me a bit to get into. However, about midway through, I couldn’t put it down. It should not be marketed as a fast-paced thrillers, but the twists at the end really smack you in the face, as they’re the last thing you expect to happen! There is definitely a build-up, but this ending is WOW!

Rachel Hawkins is fastly becoming one of my favorite authors. RECKLESS GIRLS is another gothic thriller that pulled me in and didn't let go until the end. The secrets, the tension, and the effortless flow of the writing all add to the addictiveness of this book. So good!

This felt like a common "thriller". It was a quick read and the pace was good, but it definitely did not thrill me. There was nothing memorable about it and the ending was predictable. I didn't care for any of the surface characters either. (2.75/5)
