Beauty Queens, a Book Challenge Review

This was read for a challenge I joined over on Heaven Hell and Purgatory
Where you read a book that’s been collecting dust since you bought it,
You know the one that you put there to read and have never been able to pick the thing up again. That’s what’s what, and here is my first, of the twelve month challenge, that isn’t a real challenge.
You should go check it all out. Good and proper, since my explanation sucks the hairy ones!

On this island survival is not a game. It’s a chance to work on your tan.

                Synopsis
Teen beauty queens. A lost island. Mysteries and dangers. No access to email.

The horror, the horror!

Only funnier. With evening gowns. And a body count.
