THE DEAD BOY WOULD NOT GO AWAY. Jean is on her way to Hawaii for a week of fun in the sun. But the vacation gets off to a gruesome start. The boy sitting beside her on the plane suddenly chokes and dies. Jean tries to push the incident out of her mind when she arrives on the island, but that's impossible. Part of the reason is because Mike keeps coming back to her in her dreams. Horrible dreams filled with cold blood. Two of Jean's friends are waiting for her in Hawaii -- Mandy and Michele. They have already made friends with two young men who teach scuba diving at the hotel -- Dave and Johnny. Jean and Johnny quickly become friends. But there are problems in paradise. Dave and Johnny have recently lost a partner in the ocean. No one knows how he died. No one can find his body. But then Jean finds Mike's body. It isn't where it's supposed to be, and it seems as if it's still got some life in it.
When Adri is offered an all-expenses-paid trip to the exclusive
Solstice Festival, it feels like the graduation gift of a lifetime!
But when she arrives, she quickly realises it's not
Instagram-ready. There's no water, no food, and no security in
sight - which means there's no one to help when a dead body is
found on the beach. With connections to the festival planners, Adri
gets a front-row seat as everything devolves into chaos - and she's
in a prime position to put together the clues to who - or what - is
killing off the crowd one by one.
