In WHO’S ALL GOING (TO DIE)?, Ariana finds herself reeling from the shattering of her volleyball dreams due to an injury. When she is offered an all-expenses-paid trip to a luxurious resort, she takes it. She’s ready for the wellness experience. Guru Juniper-Moon complicates her plans.
Moon’s insistence on her unconventional wellness practices means that the more treatments Ariana undergoes, the more she feels that something is wrong. "Accidents" begin to happen among the guests, and only Ariana and Jadon seem willing to expose her lies. A desperate need for truth as people begin to disappear.
When Juniper-Moon demands that “everyone give back,” Ariana and Jadon must navigate this treacherous path together to expose the guru's deceit before becoming irrevocably ensnared.
Verdict:
Lisa Springer's WHO’S ALL GOING (TO DIE)? is a shrewd young adult horror thriller that blends the wellness industry with mystery and unnerving cult vibes. There are devilish spa treatments and mesmerizing egomaniacs, all set in a luxury wellness retreat. Captivating and an intriguingly eerie take on the sinister intricacies of the wellness industry. There is excitement, suspense, and twists. A compelling and dark narrative that will leave you unable to stop reading! (8/10)

Description:
One can never ask too many questions in this contemporary horror about a teen girl who gets invited to the soft launch of a luxury resort and finds their wellness practices disturbing--and deadly.
Ariana could use a vacation. Her dreams of being a collegiate volleyball player have been crushed by an injury. So, when a new friend invites her and two guests to an all-expenses paid resort off the coast of Barbados, she accepts. Her only thoughts now should be about booking a masseuse, lounging on the beach, and maybe seeing what happens with Jadon, the cute guy in her villa.
But charismatic, self-help guru Juniper-Moon has other plans for the group. She keeps preaching lofty ideas on how to better oneself through unorthodox mindfulness activities, intense wellness treatments, and psychedelic microdosing. Plus, “accidents” seem to befall one guest after another, and yet Ari and Jadon are the only ones ready to run for the shores.
Once Juniper-Moon makes it clear that everyone must give back to this new community, Ariana and Jadon decide to team up to expose her web of lies and deceit before their loved ones become trapped in an iron-clad grip no one can free them from.
