Some psycho has Maddy McKay and Quinn Holcombe trapped on an island. A booby-trapped island with spear-pits, poison darts, crossbows, trip-wires, and like literally every other psycho way to kill someone, slowly and painfully. They have to work together to figure out a way to get off of the island, preferably still breathing.
I have no words. I cannot describe how badly I need to give this its 5 stars!
1: Okay, so this is the scariest mystery I've read in like forever. As in, I'm gonna be watching a few sappy movies tonight just to make sure I don't have scary dreams. But it was amazing!!! Like the right kind of scary. Adrenaline rushing, heart pumping, so good you can hardly bear to keep reading because of all the built-up suspense.
2: The details were exquisite. I could see quite clearly the island, and all its many horrors.
3: The characters had such dimension, and truly realistic conflicting feelings, and they were very strong characters, not just written well but also strong personalities.
4: The plot was fast-moving. No room to slow down. This gets added to my "Pile of Books I Read In One Sitting" stack.
5: The villain was seriously the most psychotic scary person I've seen in a book in so long. Most often, the villain isn't as well developed as the good guys, but not so here. This is a must read for a thrill seeking mystery reader.
