There Should Have Been Eight by Nalini Singh, narrator Saskia Maarleveld

 The Great Eight. That's what they called themselves. Until one of them died at their own hand. Now, years later they're getting together again to celebrate one of their friends getting married. They're gathering at the family home of the sister of the woman who died. 
The story is narrated by Luna. She is a photographer who is slowly losing her sight. She is also a narrator who is very caught up in her own memories of Bea.  But can we trust her memories? They seem awfully halcyon? 
The first two thirds of this book were great. Suspense built; characters were fleshed out. I generally enjoyed that part book, but had really, really hoped the twist would be different. The end dragged out too long. 

Three and a half stars
