The Island

After seeing Natasha Preston's books every time I search for thrillers for some reason I had never picked one up and I'm so glad I did and simultaneously annoyed it took me this long.

Imagine if you will if The Hills and Final Destination 3 came together in an epic mash up and you'd have The Island and I love every page of it.

A group of influencers asked to attend a preview weekend of an exclusive amusement park and hotel, there will be rides, games, spa treatments, and murder (that last part wasn't on the official invitation).

Paisley is a true crime buff, brought into a dark and disturbing world way too early in life but has turned it into a career and it has given her opportunities most people will never dream of, and like the other five on the island, she's at the top of her game.

When people start turning up missing everyone turns to her to try and solve the case and why not, she's been doing it on her podcast for years now and how different could it be?

It turns out that when you're being chased by a sociopathic serial killer it can be a lot different, the things that look fantastic in the daylight can turn into horrific places for someone to hide, either themself or a body.

I will say when I got to the last few pages of this book I thought I had the killer figured out so many times and I was wrong so many times only to be wrong over and over and over again again, I loved it.

In the end, we find out who survives, who doesn't, and who was part of it all, those last few pages had me wracking my brain for clues I might have missed.

If you're looking for a thriller that will have you looking at every person you've met as a possible killer this is the book and the author for you. Since I finished The Island I've read two more books by this astounding author and they were both fantastic.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Children's for providing an advance copy of this ebook, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoghts and opinions are my own.
