The Island by Natasha Preston
Product details
Web ID: 16223527Great Quick-Read
Good overall, would recommend to YA thriller lovers. Definitely Preston's best book, plot twists were great! Characters lacked depth, and story plot could have been better, but if you like quick-read thrillers, I would recommend. I never guessed the ending... it was crazy!!

An amazing book
For this book u have to be in the mood or it won't feel right. The island is an fast passed mystery thriller 😳 I liked the character at best but the twists in the book made it so much better. I actually love that the main character dies at the end because I was reutting for her to survive and I didnt expect her to die. Warning ⚠️ has a lot of blood and gure

I Expected More…
UGH. I’m so disappointed with this novel. This is one of my always-buy authors. This story just didn’t cut it for me. I’m not sure if it’s because I read a similar novel a few weeks ago and I’m mentally comparing the two. Is it because Preston released multiple books this year and the stories were rushed to be finished? The whole novel feels underdeveloped. The characters are mid at best, missing important key details to make their depth really stick for the story. The plot feels kind of stagnant. There’s continuity issues (i.e. Reece has a juvie record but it wasn’t expunged after he turned 18?). It was very underwhelming from what I remember with the last two books I read!😩 Overall, 3/5. It’s still a good book for anyone who wants a thriller to pass the time, but it’s nothing I’ll be obsessing over for the next few weeks.

To many Gd
If your a Christian like me that loves mystery and thriller books don't read I had to stop reading because of all the God name in vain. I have read many books in this genre that had no Gd in it and they were great books. Jhon 3:16

Enjoyable page-turner
Enjoyable page-turner. Quick read, twists & turns, and a trope of a plot, in which the visiting guests to a private island begin disappearing one-by-one. A little more YA for me than my normal tastes, but I it was a fun read. Solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Crazy Ending!
I personally loved it. I was really engaged in the story, but it had the kind of ending that would give you the urge to throw the book as far away as possible. Of course... I would have done that, but it was 1 AM and I didn't want to wake everyone up.
