The first 50-60% of the book was so not thrilling. Redeemed by the last third where all the bits that make this a thriller actually live.

•What did I think of this book? (Mult. Timeline POV)
This was a great summer read. Six people on a cursed island, everyone with a motive, an excuse to visit this shipwreck, and known cannibalism  even with people going crazy isn't actually a vacation make. But that's what their looking for a place to unplug, relax, and forget. But, even Reckless Girls can't stay calm for 2 weeks.. Maybe Karma has finally come, and they can reclaim what is theirs; but everything has a price...and not everyone plays fair. I would recommend this, especially as a vacation read. 😊

Predictable and slow, until the end when it all felt rushed.
