"This book sounded really promising but after more then 70% through the mess of a plot It just kept winding you up and getting nowhere! The overall execution for this plot was all over the place. Takes place between past and current timeline for a group of friends with a shady past full of secrets that end up on a deserted island for a "birthday celebration" After years of not seeing each other the conflicts start to unravel when they get together. Why are we here and who planned all this throughout the plot. Is the place Haunted? Who's trying to sabotage us? so many questions throughout the book but it all fizzles and the ending not very surprising. Many times wanted to DNF but the hopes of a great ending got the best if me unfortunately. plenty of drama, and gossip but not much of a suspenseful thriller here. <br/><br/>Thank you Netgally for the free copy in exchange for my honest review."
