Four "Island Terror" Stars
"Let The Games Begin"
A small taste of what lies within:
Ruth along with a few of her friends are invited to a secluded island (Prosperity Island) by an online influencer (Eton) who has invited all kinds of people to participate in survival games. The winners are rewarded with prizes if they can beat out their competition and hopefully do not get hurt in the process.
Ruth is a survivor from an infamous cult that had got some media attention in the past and she soon learns that the island is connected to her past but what is the end game and why was she chosen by Eton to be on the island?
That is about all I can hand out with a small taste without giving away spoilers so if you want to know more then go read this book!
Thoughts:
This was a different type of book by author Darcy Coates as she has stepped far away from her haunting/ghost stories and has stepped into the psychological horror genre. This story grabbed me from the get-go as I was able to get to know the character Ruth and her friends right away. Then the story moves to the island and the pace of the book picks up speed when the survival games start.
I really liked all the characters in this book along with the supporting characters but the reason that this book is not getting five stars is because the survival games just seemed to stretch out and though different things were happening within the story there seemed to be just a little bit of a drag slow down in some parts of the book but then the pace picks back up. But it just reminded me of a roller coaster with speed - slow down then speed up and that went on throughout the book which drops this rating down to 4 stars.
Other than that the book was great and kept my attention when the survival games kicked in plus the mystery of how the character Ruth's past was connected to the island. I would recommend the book to deserted island/survival horror fans.
