When Lux met Nico, her life was in a weird place, so she was all too happy to leave San Diego with him when he sailed to Maui. And while she doesn’t quite feel like she’s found her groove, she still likes being with him and enjoys her surroundings.
When Nico is approached by two young women who ask him to sail them to Meroe Island, a deserted island in the Pacific with a creepy history (shipwrecks, cannibalism, murder), it sounds like an interesting adventure, but he’ll only agree if Lux comes with them. The money is good and it’s only a short trip, so why not?
They arrive they find an island of true beauty, but they’re not the only ones there. And although the quartet quickly bond with the two other people they meet on the island, many of them are hiding secrets of some kind. But while tensions rise occasionally, it’s not until another unexpected visitor to the island arrives that things start to fall apart—in dangerous ways.
I’ve been waiting to get my hands on Reckless Girls so I definitely picked it in my Book of the Month box. It definitely didn’t disappoint—I found it twisty and sexy and exciting. I really liked Rachel Hawkins’ last book, The Wife Upstairs, and I just really enjoy the way she writes.
The book shifts between past and present—Lux narrates all the present chapters but the past chapters set up the other characters. It was fast-moving and just so good!
