ARC given for free by Netgalley for honest review.Cal Morgan and Daniel Ross are two American college students spending the summer in Greece. Cal wakes up freaking out, and trying to wake her boyfriend, Daniel up because there is a dead body next to them also there is blood everywhere. There's blood on her, Daniel, and the walls but decide they need to shower and high tail it out of there. Neither one remembers anything from the night before besides drinking at the local club with friends. The dead body is of their friend and roommate Gia Cito. She's nude with a cut from ear to ear and still they don't know what happened. After they shower, they sneak out of the house, and one of the roommates, Marco is standing on the balcony watching them leave.Nico and Thena are local detectives for the Greek island of Naxos. Nico is from Athens so he enjoys the city life and Naxos is the complete opposite. Thena is also from Athens but moved here because her four year old son, Mario was having terrible asthma attacks from all the smog and allergens in the thick city air. On the island there is never much to report except shoplifters, and babysitting drunk tourists. Most of the time there would be days go by with nothing to do but watch the sun crawl across the sky.Cal and Daniel hide out in an old bungalow hoping to wait out the day. They do a little more than hide out together, being they have always had such chemistry that they could feel the electric current running through them. While they are doing that, the detectives have been called to the house they have left, because their roommates found Gia. Nico is excited and nervous but Thena is cool as a cucumber because she's been down this road before. When they arrived, the roommates were all sitting outside with one of the patrol officers Bobby Papoutsis. Nico being a rookie, was not prepared for what he saw but Thena again kept her cool and inspected everything carefully. After speaking with one of the roommates they find out that Cal and Daniel were the last to be seen with Gia. The detectives have put an APB out on them to be detained for questioning.Will they find Cal and Daniel? Who killed Gia? Two Americans in Greece, now in the middle of a murder?This book was very short but was filled with action, mystery and suspense. I think that anyone over 17 would enjoy this book and enjoy some of her other books. I look forward to the rest of this series. I give this book 4 stars only because it was a little hard to keep up at times but, once you get it, you got it.
