This book had me hooked from the very beginning! I listened to the audiobook while I was on a long drive and it definitely helped keep me awake. Even though I had my suspicions of the guilty party early on, I had no proof or evidence and I was still very surprised when it was revealed. This was a very fun and captivating read! My biggest complaint is that ending. WHAT THE HECK. It didn’t even feel like a cliffhanger. It was more like the author stepped away from their laptop before it was finished and someone came along and submitted it without checking with the writer first. I was so mad at the ending. But the rest was really enjoyable and I’m just glad we still got our answers to the mystery!

The Island is Natasha Preston's latest book. It is a YA thriller following six influencers as they accept an exclusive invitation to spend a weekend on a luxurious island amusement park / hotel before it even opens to public .
This was a very engaging read . I enjoyed it all the way through . I was slightly sad I guessed the twist ( well , one of them anyway. ) I also read a lot of thrillers/ mysteries though. I found the characters while not likable in aspects to be well presented . I could've used more of a character background on some of them. All together though , I definitely recommend . Rated it 4 stars .
