Synopsis: Beautiful, wild, and strange - Meroe Island is a desolate spot in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with a mysterious history of shipwrecks, cannibalism, and even rumors of murder. It's the perfect destination for the most adventurous traveler to escape everything. . .except the truth.

Six stunning twenty somethings are about to embark on a blissful, free-spirited journey - one filled with sun-drenched days and intoxicating nights. But as it becomes clear that the group is even more cut off from civilization than they initially thought, it starts to feel like the island itself is closing in, sending them on a dangerous spiral of discovery.

When one person goes missing and another turns up dead, the remaining friends wonder what dark currents lie beneath this impenetrable paradise - and who else will be swept under it's secluded chaos. With its island gothic sensibility, sexy suspense, and spine-tingling re-imagining of an Agatha Christie classic, Reckless Girls will wreck you.

Review: I really like this author. Her novels are clever and entertaining. When I saw this is a re-imagining of an Agatha Christie novel, which could only be And Then There Were None, a book I thoroughly enjoyed, I knew it would be for me.
