I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
The Book:
A group of college friends, four female artists, take a trip to an isolated island to spend months creating together. But it isn't long before they start realizing that their retreat has led them right into a trap, and into the path of a murderer.
What I Liked:
This is definitely a suspenseful book. I am always excited about a plot involving an isolated location where a group is trapped with an unknown murderer, and that horror aspect is definitely amped up here with lots of quick short chapters, a small group of characters, run down buildings and mysteriously locked spaces. Once the book got going, it really got going, and I couldn't stop reading.
Anything I Didn't Like?
Chapters switch back and forth between different characters' points of view, and this could get a little confusing. The story also took a while to get started for me, with a lot of exposition. Things felt a little repetitive sometimes in the beginning, when each character would reference their own sort of mysterious secret or mysterious difficult situation multiple times in a similar way.
So...?
This was a quick, suspenseful read that kept me turning pages, but it definitely wasn't the best version I've read of this type of plot.
