Jagged island. A brand new private amusement park meant for the rich and famous - or those who are very influential. Six Influencers, Liam, James, Will, Ava, Harper, and Paisley have been invited exclusively to experience the park for a weekend. Their goal, to take videos and pictures to spread the word about this amusement park. The only concern is, will they all get off the island alive.
Malcolm, the owner of this amazing amusement park is giving these kids the opportunity of a life time by giving them the VIP treatment. Their hotel rooms are huge, the rides are incredible, and the island’s aesthetic is beyond the norm. This of course catches the eye of Paisley, the true crime junkie of the group. She’s enthralled with taking in all that she can, but has she bitten off more than she can chew?
Paisley, our main female character, is put to the test when she’s looked at to help figure out why their friend Will is no where to be found after the first night on the island. Everyone wants to hear her theories and who might be involved. I mean no one is safe when you’ve only met a couple days ago. How much does everyone know about each other and how much does that affect how this plays out.
I absolutely loved this book. I think it gave off Scream vibes and I am a long time lover of the Scream movie franchise. There’s this idea that there’s no one but everyone to trust cause they’re all here for the same reason right so it couldn’t be any of them. As the novel goes on it really drives home the idea of you have to be careful who you trust cause you never really know someone’s true intentions.
Again, I think this book is great for those who are really into the old time slasher films such as Scream or Halloween. I think it takes a modern but still original twist to it
Horrible. I don’t even know why I finished it. So slow paced. Written poorly. Ending was so stupid. Waste of my time.
The ending had me in shock when the actual murders were revealed my jaw dropped I did not expect either of them to be the killers. Natasha Preston always gives such a jaw dropping twist and I love it although I'm not a big fan of the very end when the main girl died. I was hoping she would survive but I guess that just made it an easier way to end the book so 4.3⭐ in my opinion!
