I loved THE SANATORIUM so this one was an automatic must read. And wow, what a book it was! 
 
It follows 2 narratives - Detective Elin Warner and the group of friends staying at the retreat. I liked the mix of POVs, it really helped to tell the story. Especially as they weren’t all together at the same time so you got to see what was happening at various areas of the island. 
 
I literally couldn’t put it down, it was so gripping. Every chapter was full of drama, ending on cliffhangers making you want to continue reading. The descriptions of the island were so chilling, it felt like you were there. 
 
I did not see that ending coming - what a plot twist! 
 
If you enjoyed THE SANATORIUM, you’ll like this one.
