Six influencers are invited to a secluded island amusement park prior to opening in the hopes their online influence will draw the rich to spend theirSix influencers are invited to a secluded island amusement park prior to opening in the hopes their online influence will draw the rich to spend their money at the park. Given posh rooms in the on-site hotel and having every need tended too… what better way to spend a weekend. Until Will, one of the influencers goes missing and then their whole world gets turned upside down.
I have to say, I’ve never read anything else from this author, however her ability to tell a tale left me breathless. I was ducking and dodging along with the trapped kids. A creepy amusement park background, a room filled with wax statues of the worst of the worst serial killers… and all the while being hunted. This kept me turning pages afraid to close my eyes less I miss the killer. Several times I thought I had it figured out, only to change my mind again and again.
I can’t even tell you how wild the ending is! Whew. Breathless, heart ponding, cat and mouse running, hiding and being hunted is enough to entertain anyone! I am definitely going to explore more from this author.
I can’t recommend this YA thrill ride enough. If your brave enough… and don’t mind being hunted …
Thank you so much to #NetGalley, the publishers and author for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinions. Grab this book like a life raft when it’s released Feb 28, 2023. Trust me… you’re going to need it to survive Jagged Island.
Happy reading my friends!

New motherhood. A time if great joy and great pain. Growing pains felt all through a once smaller family. But what happens when your normal baby bluesNew motherhood. A time if great joy and great pain. Growing pains felt all through a once smaller family. But what happens when your normal baby blues turns into full blown postpartum depression, or even worse postpartum psychosis? Well that’s one ride that can lead to disaster. Especially for a new, sleep deprived mother who is being preyed upon by a cold hearted killer with a kind demeanor and who is so willing to help make her feel normal again. A man who wants nothing more than to draw her in close, and let her sleep deprived self take the fall for his misdeeds. This is a crazy cat and mouse game that hooks you fast and reels you in to a world where nothing is what it seems. Highly recommended as a fast fun take on that lovely space called new motherhood.
