4.5
This book is a 4.5 for me. I’m still very new to thrillers such as only 4 thrillers since 2020. 😅 So, please bear with me.
The island setting was spot on from the descriptions to how it sit up the atmosphere. It was a creepy setting due to being stuck on a Pacific Island, in the middle of no where, and the dark mysterious history of Meroe Island. The setting is one where will the characters will go a little bit nuts too.
The length was alright for an average reader like me, only 300+ pages. The books is easily digestible so you’ll be able too so you can read it in one setting or in a couple of days. The pace is also fast in the beginning, then, it slows down in the middle part of the hook. In the 3rd quarter-the ending of the book, it picks up again.
The language has a lot of cuss words yet can be descriptive at some points. It’s nothing special type of writing or very unique. The writing does sink you in though and keeps the book from lagging. The ending is also very messy from the plot holes to how unrealistic that twist was.

This book is very good for starters with thrillers or if you want a fun easy read. It’s published on January 4th of 2022. This book was a good way to end my 2021 reading year too!
