The Catch is the world's biggest reality show and the four remaining ladies, Renee, Amanda, Vanessa and Lilah-Mae along with the eligible “catch”, Jeremy, arrive on a remote wooded island for the final. 

But the island holds a secret and the final might be their last chance at life. 

This is remarkable, a queer horror laced with dark humour about a reality show like Love Island or The Bachelor that turns into a creature feature. Most of the contestants are self obsessed media darlings who only care about their image, likes and aesthetic. The production team are jaded and conniving, feeding them secrets about each other to get the dramatic reaction the show and viewers feeds on. The island is beautiful and isolated, the locals friendly and it turns out, very protective of their home and its special resident. 

The horror is mild I feel but the story is so good and it is a really quick read. Never read anything like it but I loved it!
