A fast-paced summer beach read (if you can get to some water -- even better) featuring money and murder.
Isabella (Belle) Carter isn't exactly living the dream when she's invited to accompany her BFF, Summer Sanderson, on a luxury cruise on Summer's billionaire boyfriend's yacht to the Mediterranean. Accompanied by Summer's younger sister, Brittani and her mother, Rhonda, they join friends Wendy, Claire, and Amythest on John Lyons's private jet and fly into Genoa, Italy, to meet The Lion's Den. Several odd things cause Belle to become a bit wary about this trip: they are all asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, there's no Wi-Fi available on the yacht, and they are required to hand over their passports. It becomes obvious that John Lyons likes to be in control and every aspect of their time is managed. Meanwhile, things aren't going so well among the lovely ladies on board. Summer has jealousy issues and John seems to be involved with some shady business dealings. Will this dream vacation become a nightmare? NO SPOILERS.
Told from Belle's point of view, the narrative flips back and forth in time where the reader learns the history of Belle and Summer's friendship. With a few surprises that pop up late in the book, the plot takes a turn that may be unexpected. I enjoyed it as a nice change of pace from more serious topics and grisly crime.
