Goodreads Summary: Eighteen-year-old Arcadia wants adventure. Living in a tiny Florida town with her dad and four-year-old brother, Cadie spends most of her time working, going to school, and taking care of her family. So when she meets two handsome cousins at a campfire party, she finally has a chance for fun. They invite her and friend to join them on a road trip, and it's just the risk she's been craving-the opportunity to escape. But what starts out as a fun, sexy journey quickly becomes dangerous when she discovers that one of them is not at all who he claims to be. One of them has deadly intentions. 

A road trip fling turns terrifying in this contemporary story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Review: Okay, this story was slow. You guys don't know this, but I am not the kind of reader that will force myself to finish a book I'm not interested in and sadly this was one of them. It might have been that it got better, but I was 3/4th through the book and frankly, I was bored. It wasn't thrilling and I wasn't on the edge of my seat. It was just kind of boring.... The main character wasn't that interesting and nothing was happening. I understand if a book as a little bit of a slow start, but over half the book? I don't know, it just wasn't my cup of tea. 

I do; however, encourage you guys to give it a go if the summary hits your interest. Do not take my word too strongly. For me, it just wasn't a capturing read. I just personally couldn't get into the characters or the story line, but that's just me. I hope you are all doing well. If you've read this book or if you do, I would love to know whether you like it or not. I'll see you all later and as always, happy reading.
