Wow. This book was so complicated and disturbing. It did take me a while to read and at some points, I feel as though the gore was unnecessary. If you want to gross yourself out, this is the book for you!

Whew, I was warned it was graphic😅🫠

A group of boy scouts and their scoutleader are off on an island trip when a stranger in a boat comes to shore. Something is most definitely wrong with him, and it seems to be contagious.

I'm not exactly sure how to rate a book that made me feel so grossed out. I literally had to stop and walk away a few times🤢 it was a lot, but also I needed to keep reading. I wouldn't say I exactly enjoyed it, but I would recommend to horror book lovers🙃

The writing was very good. The narrator was also very good

I don't read many horror books, except for Stephen King's works, but I really enjoy a story about an out of control infection. Although this book had a lot of gore, it was mostly sci-fi in nature, which I can handle. The tension in the scenes was so palpable that I would literally tense up and make faces while reading. Overall, I loved it. The alternating timeline between the court proceedings and the island added to the mysterious atmosphere, but there was one storyline,

Shelley's

, that I didn't enjoy. I felt it was unnecessary and the story already had enough tension without his

psychopathic

plotline. Personally, I thought it weakened the whole story. I even skipped a chapter because of the content and it has zero impact on the overall story. But, maybe I'm just more of a sci-fi nerd!
