What They Say:
Welcome to The Island.
Where your worst fears are about to come true…
It was supposed to be the perfect holiday: a week-long trip for six teenage friends on a remote tropical island.
But when their guide dies of a stroke leaving them stranded, the trip of a lifetime turns into a nightmare.
Because someone on the island knows each of the group’s worst fears. And one by one, they’re becoming a reality.
Seven days in paradise. A deadly secret.
Who will make it off the island alive?
What I Say:
Wow! This book completely blew my mind! CL Taylor is one of my go-to authors, her books always deliver an adrenaline rush and make your head spin a little bit. Each book she writes is darker and more messed up than the one before. The Island is listed as a YA thriller but I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good chilling read.
There are fantastic characters, some you love, some you dislike and some you just don't trust. The setting is a dream, I mean who wouldn't kill to be on a paradise desert island right about now?! Taylor describes paradise so beautifully and vividly that I became lost in the story. The drama is tense and page-turning and the who-dunnit aspect will keep you guessing to the very end,
I adored how the characters were bonded together, from birth, and no one wanted to believe any of the were capable of doing anything sinister. It makes you turn on each of them, one at a time until your head is spinning and you don't know who to believe any more. Utterly amazing writing talent.
If you've never read a book by CL Taylor before, you're missing out big time! This would be a great place to start, I guarantee you'll be addicted. 10/10
