The stakes are high...Ten strangers, recruited by an edgy new reality show and marooned on an abandoned island overrun by wildlife. One dies in a horrible accident. Nine realize they are all past survivors, alive only because they've beaten incredible odds once before. One by one, their hidden secrets are revealed. Eight discover they are trapped. Caught in a game so deadly that the most terrifying experiences of their lives were only its qualifying round, they must now face the greatest danger on the island... each other. And one of them is not who he or she claims. Seven fight to escape. Six try to solve the mystery of who lured them there and why. Five... Four... Will anyone survive New Year Island?

Different terror, mystery story. I liked how we were gradually introduced to the players in the story, and the novel island location. I had difficulty keeping the players and their personalities straight, because there were quite a few of them. It was scary tale, filled with gore and pure terror. My main turn-off was the cursing. It might have been appropriate to the story, but jarring and off-putting to me. I liked it.

Good scary story---way too long

Hard to follow all the twists and turns in this book...storyline is clever but too unbelievable to feel like it was really enjoyable

Confusing

What did you like best about New Year Island? What did you like least?

The story was very drawn out and not plausible in so many areas, for so many reasons. I was excited at the story line -- thinking it would be like hunger games -- but was disappointed. I hung in there and finished it and questioned myself for doing so. Sorry I just didn't like it.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

1) Shorten it, 2) make the characters more dynamic, 3) plot needs some tailoring -- too many unbelievable scenarios.

Have you listened to any of Teri Schnaubelt’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but may check them out.

Could you see New Year Island being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Oh no.

Just okay . . .
