The story about a newlywed couple spending their honeymoon on a gorgeous island seemed ripe with possibilities that a thriller novel could do. Some parts of the plot I thoroughly enjoyed while others just didn’t fall through like they should have. I did keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time I read it.
The writing was very good and the pacing at times kept my heart racing and my mind spinning at the things that could happen and the misfortunes that could occur.
Abigail, I just couldn’t like too much. Some parts of her I admired but others were just not really that good. For example her sexual history, to me at times it felt like she was proud of her failures with men and she kind felt like a bit of a narcissist. Throughout the story she made some really stupid and not very smart decisions. I would have thought she learned from her years of watching horror movies and applied them to her current situation.
Some parts I wished were explained more and elaborated in more detail then what we got. Other parts I did really enjoy and kept me interested in wanting to know more.
In conclusion, this book was a fifty fifty for me personally. While some parts like the horror and the setting I really enjoyed but the main character and the ending fell flat to me. I did enjoy my time with this book and did not regret reading this nail biting thriller of a story.
