This was the first book I have read by this author, I did enjoy it but it is not for the faint of heart. If you’re a fan of horror you’ll enjoy it. It follows a group of people who go to a secluded island to take part in an event where they’ll play games in order to win money. While there on the island things go from fun party atmosphere to a tense game of survival.

When Ruth and her friends win tickets to the exclusive event put on by social media influencer Eton all of them as super excited, all expect Ruth. Ruth has spent her life trying to be pretty invincible but these games will be streamed for all to see and people might find out who she really is.

Many believe the island is cursed because anytime someone begins to build on it terrible things happen. They believe it is because it was once the home of a cult,who killed their leader, none of the followers were never found. As the lone survivor of one of the most infamous cults it’s all hitting a little too close to home. When guests begin to go missing and even some say that they saw a dead body everyone thinks that it is all part of the game. But Ruth can’t help but feel that something sinister is happening.
