None of the characters are likeable except maybe Nikki

and I hate that no one gets any redemption, or at least that the readers didn’t get to read about it. I wanted to see what happened to Annie after the news broke about her and Jackson killing Jess’ parents.

The Club is a smart, stylish, and savage thriller with a dark and deadly mystery at its heart. The Home Group is a glamorous collection of exclusive celebrity members’ clubs dotted across the globe. The most spectacular of all is Island Home and it’s three-day launch party is easily the most coveted A-list invite of the decade. But behind the scenes, tensions are at a breaking point as the ambitious and expensive project has push the CEO and his team to their absolute limits. As tempers fray and behavior worsens, as things get more sinister by the hour and the bodies pile up, some of Island Home’s members will begin to wish they’d never been invited. Because at this club, if your name is on the list, you’re not getting out. 
Packed full of suspense, drama, and dirty secrets, the Club is a book you won’t want to put down till the last secret is revealed.
