This is my first book from Natasha Preston, and it was a real page turner! I loved every moment of it, I especially loved the details of the island and the hotel. I’m usually pretty good at guessing what is going to happen, but I was SO wrong. If it weren’t for all the murder, this would definitely be an amusement park I’d like to visit. This needs to be a movie.

A lighter thriller being YA, but so much fun to read. The tension is perfectly written, and the last plot twist is so unexpected!

This book is hard to rate and review.
I love the story, appreciated the characters, and love the premise. I was highly engaged and basically read the book in a day (which I typically do not do). The prose was descriptive and effective in creating vivid imagery. It had good pacing and good twists. It had me guessing throughout most of the book as to who was responsible for the actions taking place. It was both an easy and enjoyable read. I thought it was a solid 4-star book.....and then the ending took at least a full star off the rating.
Given that the book isn't planned to be released until the end of February, perhaps the ending will be changed prior to that. Again...otherwise I really liked the book...but the ending (or lack thereof) really disappointed me.
I do like [a:Natasha Preston|6548349|Natasha Preston|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1625483526p2/6548349.jpg]'s style and will likely seek out/read some of her other books.

Stayed up the night before leaving for vacation to know how it ended! Natasha never gives us a break with those gasp-worthy, throw-the-book-across-the-room endings.
