The Reunion

Written by Kit Frick

Narrated by Zac Aleman, Andre Bellido, Marisa Blake and 2 more

From the author of I Killed Zoe Spanos comes a “suspenseful and atmospheric” (Kirkus Reviews) YA thriller in the vein of The White Lotus and Karen M. McManus’s The Cousins following a doomed family reunion at a posh Caribbean resort, where old grudges and dangerous secrets culminate in murder.

Eleven Mayweathers went on vacation. Ten came home.

It’s been years since the fragmented Mayweather clan was all in one place, but the engagement of Addison and Mason’s mom to the dad of their future stepbrother, Theo, brings the whole family to sunny Cancún, Mexico, for winter break. Add cousin Natalia to the mix, and it doesn’t take long for tempers to fray and tensions to rise. A week of forced family “fun” reveals that everyone has something to hide, and as secrets bubble to the surface, no one is safe from the fallout. By the end of the week, one member of the reunion party will be dead—and everyone’s a suspect:
The peacekeeper: Addison needs a better hiding place.
The outsider: Theo just wants to mend fences.
The romantic: Natalia doesn’t want to talk about the past.
The hothead: Mason needs to keep his temper under control.

It started as a week in paradise meant to bring them together. But the Mayweathers are about to learn the hard way that family bonding can be deadly.

Reviews for The Reunion

[Orlanda Thompson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

After finishing the book, I'm feeling conflicted. As a YA thriller, it reads well, and the story would be considered a fun read. The decisions made would be considered practical and on par to the story.

However, as an adult read that's supposed to be a thriller, it was a little too tame for my taste. The choices and the situations the characters found themselves and how they handled them left me unsatisfied.

Not saying that it's not a fun read. I think I went in thinking it was one type of read, and it turned out to be another. It's a fast and quick read. The chapters are short, and one could finish the book quickly. I did both the audio and ebook, and the audio really contributed to me enjoying the book that much more.
