I did receive this book as a giveaway winner*


**SPOILER ALERT**



Holy Crap... at first I thought it was just going to be a rip off of Glass Onion: Knives Out since Cole was very very similar to the fitness guy who died in that movie. For the first half of the book, it felt like I was too old to be reading this as a college student but honestly I don't think that anymore. I think the whole high school getting drunk party they had the first night on the island made me feel that way. Once Aaron died, I was so invested that I finished it in one sitting. I actually gasped out loud a few times in the second half. Overall I enjoyed this book even though the beginning was a little slow paced. Its an easy read and got me out of a reading slump. Is it my favorite book of all time? No, but would I recommend it to someone who wants an easy read? For sure. This author is definitely one I want to look more into now!

About the Characters...
I wish we got to learn more about Aaron, Graham, and Corinne. They all felt one sided to me. I hated Cole immediately and was happy he was gone even though it was predictable he'd be dead. The characters did not have much to them, which I made this feel more for a younger audience too. I wish Kiara's "bad thing" was more extreme or talked about more. She seemed to be the saint the whole time and then the ending glosses over her too quickly. Again, I enjoyed the book but probably wont pick it up again or think about too much.
