The Island by Adrian McKinty
4.0

This book took me on a ride and reminded me of the horror books by Richard Laymon. It was definitely more grisly than most of the thrillers I have read.

I really like the overall plot. Being trapped on an island with a psycho family always ends up being a good time. It was action-packed and pretty fast-paced. I found myself getting anxiety before new chapters. There weren't many twists, but I was okay with that.

The only negative I had was some of the one-liners were awful. Especially when the author starts talking about farts. It went a bit too far for me. There are some triggers in this book so look them up before reading.
