The Island by Natasha Preston

2.0

1.5-2 stars ⭐ I purchased this book without realizing it was a YA thriller but still thought I would try it out! With this is mind, I don't want to be too harsh as I do not think I am the target audience. While the concept of a murderer loose at a spooky amusement park island is fun (and gave me Scooby Doo Spooky Island vibes), the writing and plot holes were just too much for me to really enjoy what was going on. I was bored throughout even though there was lots of action. I found it hard to follow certain scenes and that the descriptions were lacking. The ending is also a tad bit infuriating! Overall I think I learned to be more careful when buying books and to avoid YA thrillers!
