The Island is Natasha Preston's latest book. It is a YA thriller following six influencers as they accept an exclusive invitation to spend a weekend on a luxurious island amusement park / hotel before it even opens to public .
This was a very engaging read . I enjoyed it all the way through . I was slightly sad I guessed the twist ( well , one of them anyway. ) I also read a lot of thrillers/ mysteries though. I found the characters while not likable in aspects to be well presented . I could've used more of a character background on some of them. All together though , I definitely recommend . Rated it 4 stars .
