There’s a killer on board a luxury yacht, and two former friends must team up to figure out which of their privileged classmates has a penchant for murder before they become victims themselves.

Ex–best friends Naya Morgan and Yana Bunpraserit have always felt like outsiders in their small Oklahoma town. But this year, everything changes when they’re inducted into an exclusive society of Yatesville High’s top recent graduates. Unimaginable opportunities await them, starting with a celebratory yacht trip to Bermuda. Despite the likely onslaught of microaggressions and backhanded compliments from their peers—in addition to their own rocky past—Yana and Naya are ready for an epic voyage.
Then one of their classmates is brutally murdered, leaving them stuck at sea with a killer. Yana and Naya may have avoided each other for years, yet as the body count rises, rekindling their friendship might be the only way they’ll both survive.

Content Warning: murder, death, microaggressions, racism, blood

 REVIEW

This was a twisty who – did – it murder mystery among friends, and ex friends. A. post graduation trip on a mega yacht. Sounds like a dream come come true right…

Not on this yacht. Someone keeps killing off the snobby rich kids. It gets messy too, there is blood everywhere! With lots of drama to be found on the ship it makes for a good time. It reminded me of the movie Clue , that I loved watching growing up.

I was able to figure out pretty early on who the killer was, unfortunately over the top unrealistic at times, but that added to the fun of the plot. This was a fun YA murder – mystery with lots of friendship drama.
