The dialog between characters was oddly written, chapters are super long and its just boring. Each character has their own complex storyline that becomes too much to keep up with
10 social media influencers are invited to Unknown Island for an exclusive, free trip that is buzzing all over social media. When they get there there’s no internet, no staff, and the luxurious suites are just a shack. They realize they are all stranded and soon learn that they all have some sort of secrets in common. Soon they all begin to die one by one.
Honestly this sounded cool and I picked it up because it reminded me of Fyre Fest but it just wasn’t memorable. It ended up being a generic mystery story. There’s way too many characters just to be there and I couldn’t keep track of them. Plus the chapters were too long. There’s also no creepy atmosphere and I just didn’t care.
Thanks to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book.

Ten young influencers are lured to an exotic, isolated, island that doesn’t lives up to its promise of luxury. One by one, they are picked off - killed - for crimes that they got away with. They were presented with their misdeeds upon arrival to the island.
It’s a moderately entertaining entertaining YA take of “and then there were none”.

Something about the pacing of this one was off for me. Sometimes the plot zipped along; other times it dragged on. I didn't get too invested in most of the characters, so the deaths were not quite as impactful as they could have been.
I will always be seated for an And Then There Were None retelling. It’s genuinely my favorite thriller trope when people trapped start dying one by one. This book had such a good narrative with the multiple POVs with each character getting increasingly more deranged and paranoid as time went on. My main issue with this book were the chapter lengths. One chapter in this book had 70 pages???? If they could have made the chapters shorter it would have been a lot more engaging. I also wish that some of the characters were more fleshed out and we got motive for each of the characters. This was such an amazing thriller with shocking deaths and an ending I never suspected.

another take on agatha christie’s famous work. only because i read the original did i figure out the killer before the halfway point. my only thing is WHY? like i know they are angry because of how social media affected someone they cared about but why get the other eight? is it like a nod to another agatha cristie classic? the abc murders
