Love this experience. Hope to do it next time. Was not able to complete all the steps.
Favorite review here:
As a huge fan of Lisa Gardner, you knew I was going to cover her newest novel, Still See You Everywhere. After a year hiatus from a new release, a book about a serial killer psychopath hiring our favorite non-cop, one-woman search party Frankie Elkins was going to be a hit and Gardner did not disappoint.
The first thing I love about this book is its originality. On par with Gardner’s other books, she goes above and beyond to create unique and interesting cases and scenarios that you really don’t get in other books. In this case, Gardner visited an atoll off Hawaii that prompted the scenery we get this time. Take a highly tumultuous setting and add an array of characters from all walks of life that you cannot be sure you can trust and top it with a serial killer and you have yourself a next-level novel. The handful of characters we are introduced to in this book are some of my favorites. Frankie Elkin is at the top of that list and I love how her character hasn’t changed, but we have learned so much more about her throughout the novels Gardner has released. Her backstory is what makes her and her constant struggles that we witness, whether that be with alcohol, trusting people, or second-guessing her life choices, keep us wanting to peel back the layers of her life and hopefully see her be happy one day. Each of the other characters in this book bring something to the table and while you really, really love some of them, you cannot help but wonder if you can trust any of them. Gardner sows doubt throughout the entire book.
The details that have gone into this story are so important to the outcome. Every detail down to the crabs plays a huge role in the story surprisingly. The layout of the island, the facilities available, and the personality of each character come together to create a masterful work of art by Gardner. I feel like there was more foreshadowing or even hints as to what the outcome was going to be, but I had no idea how we were going to get there and if everyone would make it out alive. The suspense in Still See You Everywhere is really what put me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
The greatest thing about all Lisa Gardner’s books is you can read them stand-alone even if you hadn’t yet read the ones before. This book is no different. I would 100% recommend you go read Frankie Elkin’s first and second stories by Gardner before this one, but you could easily read this and not have to know the two before. If thrillers and high suspense are your type of book, pick this up immediately. Gardner has earned her title as the Queen of Thrillers yet again with another jaw-dropping, suspense-driven novel with characters you can’t help but be drawn to.
This was such a fun idea to bring the Netgalley community together with their socials. Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
I wish this summer had given me the time I hoped to dedicate to this, but I loved the concept and what I was able to participate with!
Such a cute kit!! Thank you :) I enjoyed browsing it and participating in the activities. Definitely something I hop NG does next year too.
It was a fun packet for the summer of 2024, filled with games and useful tips! Hopefully NetGalley will do this again in 2025!
NetGalley Camp was soooo much fun! It definitely made my summer was more exciting than it normally is! Looking forward to next year!!!
Filled with fun games and tips to help read more NetGalley's from publishers, authors and those that are already on your Shelf.
I"m not sure how to review this, because I wasn't able to participate in Camp NetGalley this year :)
This was good and helpful for newbies. It archived by the time I got around to giving feedback so I can’t reference specific items. Will take it as a learning point for future reviews and feedback
Such a great idea! Was very excited to utilize, but life got in the way. Looking forward to more events like this :)
Such a fun concept!
I wish my work had not blown up at the same time.
Looking forward to the next one.

I found I just didn’t have the time to keep up with this though I really liked the premise of it!
I don’t really know what would have made it better, but maybe something that could have been completed quicker - or faster tasks - but it could just have been that o had a busy summer and it didn’t work out for me!
This was an absolute delight for the summer & I love how Netgalley is engaging with the populace here!!! <3
I wasn’t able to finish the whole camp but I think it’ll be so fun to try again next year. Summer reading camp at my local library was everything to me and this had me feeling so nostalgic.
Wanted to participate but not what I thought it would be. I thought it would be a fun concept but there was too much social media involved. It is not something I would have been able to keep up with.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to participate this year, but it seemed really fun! I might try to do it on my own sometime, and hopefully I'll be able to do it with everyone else next year!
This was a really cool idea but I did think it was a little confusing to keep up and I don’t use some of the social media so had a bit of trouble keeping up. Think it’s worth doing again next year though!
Loved this fun challenge! I will absolutely participate in this event again - loved connecting and creating with others!
this was fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the invite. can’t wait for next years. the directions were a little confusing though
