Not much to say about this one. I probably wouldn’t have finished it, if I hadn’t bought it. It was fine, it somewhat held my interest, and I liked the exotic private island setting. The characters were annoying and honestly hard to keep straight since they were so similarly flat. The Invited which I read earlier this year is a better version of this one and more worth the time.

A nice debut with some twists I didn't expect.
The four friends are all assholes. Good lord it was painful to witness such ego's and selfish behavior. Never have I wished characters would get the death they deserve more than those four.
Poor Poppy. People really need to think before they act.

Highly predictable, at least for me, and the red herrings the author tried to use got annoying.

This is a fast paced thriller vaca read. I felt like it was a predictable revenge piece based on high school bullying. The location was gorgeous, the characters shallow and pretty unrealistic.

Loved! Kept me guessing, and I enjoyed reading every chapter. I’m bad at predicting what’s going to happen so i was shocked at the end lol
