Blurb; Eight strangers.
One island.
A secret you’d kill to keep.
When eight people arrive on the beautiful but remote Buidseach Island, they are ready for the challenge of a lifetime: to live alone for one year.
Eighteen months later, a woman is found in an isolated fishing village. She’s desperate to explain what happened to her: how the group fractured and friends became enemies; how they did what they must to survive until the boat came to collect them; how things turned deadly when the boat didn’t come…
But first Maddy must come to terms with the devastating secret that left them stranded, and her own role in the events that saw eight arrive and only three leave.
My Review; A random pick for me to read so I didn’t have any expectations going into this one. But I really enjoyed it. Very similar to a lot of books out at the minute about a deserted island, survival etc. But this is different in that it’s a planned TV year long survival which goes wrong. Very wrong. Very fast. Deadly. Trust noone. Kept me entertained until the last outcome and when we get a full explanation of what really went on on that island. Shocking. Jaw dropping. Chilling. Twisted.
When the on island two man crew are found dead and no rescue has been sent to them after the year was up they knew something was wrong. I was hooked and devoured it. Love these types of books. Highly recommend. A well deserved four stars from me.
Definitely a TBR for me.. it sounds very Lord of the Flies!
