About this listen

A deserted island, a vicious storm, a murderer amongst friends…

It was meant to be a fun reunion, a chance for six friends to reconnect and relive the adventures that brought them together in the first place. But from the moment they arrive on their island home for the weekend, Lyndsey, Sonia, Bobbie, Amanda, Juliet, and Val realise that their paradise is filled with peril, and there are consequences when you try to outrun the ghosts of your past.

As everything starts to fall apart, and the friends begin to turn against one another, deep, dark secrets are revealed, and an unimaginable horror is unleashed. They came seeking adventure, but now they’ll be lucky to leave with their lives…

In case you didn’t already know, this story makes clear the risks inherent in taking a trip to an abandoned island with a group of friends you haven’t seen for years and with whom you share a deadly secret!!! Given that, all proceeds as expected. No surprises really. The usual touch of madness, the kind of madness females are often prone to ( according to this particular formula). The usual ending! Tolerably well done. Neither good nor bad. You decide.

Let this be a warning ….

Hard to get into to start with, trying to figure out which character was which, whole story was not particularly gripping, and no twists throughout, predictable ending

Steady, not Gripping, predictable ending

Though I didn’t particularly like or care about any of the characters, it was just entertaining enough to keep listening.

I wasn't sure exactly what to expect when I started reading this yesterday, finished it this morning, couldn't stop listening. I thought after reading a lot of thrillers I had it figured out, won't lie I was wrong. Really well narrated by Sarah as well. I didn't like Juliet very much, she got on my nerves trying to control her friends lives. To be honest, only characters I liked were Marn, Val and Sonia. Lindsay also irritated me. My only slight critasism of the book was we're left with unanswered questions. I'm not a fan of ambiguous endings, there are things I still want to know. But otherwise, a really enjoyable read. I believed Marn from the start. I love this type of book, a group of friends or a tteam out together for an amount of time, either stranded or things go wrong. I saw similarities between this and "the dark" by Emma HORTON. Specifically when the power goes out. If you've read "the dark" I think you'll enjoy this.

This was really good.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and was hooked on it from the start! I did have to rewind a few times at the start to get used to all the names and get an idea about them though. But that is probably just me🤔🤦🏽‍♀️😂 I couldn’t stop listening and it really keeps you guessing the whole way through, i did guess 1 thing right but not all of it, and i love when that happens🤗i tried to get another book by this author but there’s none, so i hope she does some more soon😊🙏🏽and WOWWWW Sarah Lambie was OUTSTANDING!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯💯i have already picked more books that she has read simply because of her as she is SO good! Some narrators actually are SO good that they should be doing something more with their talent😊the narrator can be the making of a book or the disaster! The whole way through I actually felt like I could see every single scene in my head which again i love and this is down to the author’s great talent aswell as the narrator. Loved this SO much and im so gutted it’s finished! The end was a bit 🤔but I believe there will be more to come?!🤗thank you Rakie, thank you Sarah and thank you audible for another BRILLIANT story!💯💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️xxx

Wow 🤩 really really enjoyed this👏🏽💯
