Resumen del Editor

You’ll want to stay. Until you can’t leave....

A group of strangers arrive on a beautiful but remote island, ready for the challenge of a lifetime: to live there for one year, without contact with the outside world.

But 12 months later, on the day when the boat is due to return for them, no one arrives.

Eight people stepped foot on the island. How many will make it off alive?

A totally addictive psychological thriller with twists and turns you just won’t see coming. Fans of The Hunting Party, The Castaways and The Sanatorium will be totally gripped from the very first moment until the final, breath-taking conclusion.

Adult Lord of The Flies

What an interesting and well executed idea this story was! I don’t necessarily feel that all of the characters were developed. The main character was developed the most which makes sense for the story. I think some people could potentially find this story boring because there isn’t a whole lot of action, but I enjoy stories about survival and all of the little mundane tasks that they do throughout their day.

Sad but engaging

Not uplifting. Sad but engaging. Thrilling but not great writing. Excellent narration. Will make a great movie.

I feel so lost

Ten Stars. This book was extremely stressful, and harrowing. It broke me repeatedly. I was desperate for it to end and to never end at the same time.

I haven’t been so emotionally invested in a story in a long time. It is a good thing that we learn from the very beginning that Maddy survives (from page 1) because I don’t know if I could have continued the story not knowing. I might have fallen apart from the worrying.

This book made me angry. I was right there with her the whole time. All the characters were so well fleshed out. If you aren’t sure about picking this one up let me stop you right there. It is absolutely worth the journey. Stop reading reviews and READ THIS BOOK

Wish it would never end

One of those books you can’t put down. Can’t stop thinking about. Wish it would never end!

Great plot!

The storyline keeps you turning the pages and not wanting to put the book down!
I liked the different characters, although Gill could have been fleshed out a bit more, but the mob mentality was such that it spoke volumes about the group of tormentors!
Great book!

Very exciting

Enjoyed the story and the narrator. Lots of twists and turns. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a stranded on the island theme.

Surprising

A thoughtful thriller. Even though the circumstances were intense they weren’t utterly implausible like so many of this genre.

The survival of the underdog.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love good survival tale, human against mother nature. This tale has the added tale of surviving against human cruelty as well. I can't wait to read another Sara Goodwin book.

It was alright.

The premise was good and I got through the whole story so that’s good. It seemed to drag out in many places, where it seemed like Groundhog Day a little bit. In addition, I think it could use another editorial review. There were several times I noticed descriptive phrases/sentences repeated — often only a few “pages” from the prior use. It definitely didn’t feel like a deliberate choice either — rather, an unintended oversight from moving sections around during the editing process. They were all things I feel a decent editor would easily catch. But overlooking those kinds of things I find super annoying, the story itself was good and it was a worthwhile use of a credit.

Fantastic

Stayed up late because I didn't want to stop listening. Like a social experiment in human defects of character.
