Bad Things Happen Here | Rebecca Barrow

I Killed Zoe Spanos meets The Cheerleaders in this haunting mystery about an island town with a history of unsolved deaths—and a girl desperate to uncover the mystery behind it all. Luca Laine Thomas lives on a cursed island. To the outside world, Parris is an exclusive, idyllic escape accessible only to the one percent. There’s nothing idyllic about its history, though, scattered with the unsolved deaths of young women—deaths Parris society happily ignores to maintain its polished veneer. But Luca can’t ignore them. Not when the curse that took them killed her best friend, Polly, three years ago. Not when she feels the curse lingering nearby, ready to take her next. When Luca comes home to police cars outside her house, she knows the curse has visited once again. Except this time, it came for Whitney, her sister. Luca decides to take the investigation of Whitney’s death into her own hands. But as a shocking betrayal rocks Luca’s world, the identity Whitney’s killer isn’t the only truth Luca seeks. And by the time she finds what she’s looking for, Luca will come face to face with the curse she’s been running from her whole life.

3.5 stars- This book was pretty depressing I'll be honest, but at least with a semi-hopeful ending. I didn't see the murderer coming. It was a good book overall. Just very dark.

Luca is from a place called Parris island, a beautiful place that anyone would feel lucky to live in.
But Luca doesn't feel that lucky as Parris is home to many local murders within the past few years.
All this is bad enough but now it's more personal than ever, already having lost her best friend, now her elder sister Whitney is the latest victim.
Luca knows there was more to the night she died than anyone will admit...

Luca lives in a place that sounds idyllic, Parris Island, warm, exotic and the kind of place that shouldn't really have a high crime rate.
Yet the Island over the years has seen its fair share of gruesome happenings, including a spate of murders of the local girls.
Luca's friend was one of the victims and now its her elder sister Whitney who is also one of those murdered.
Distraught she sets out to prove the truth of what happened that night.
