It's hard to believe this book was written years before this pandemic as it reflects what's happening.
A fascinating dystopia with a cast of well thought characters, great world building and good storytelling.

Even if it's well written I struggled because I didn't like the MC.
Not my cup of tea.

(4,5* rounded to 5)
This is a solid thriller that kept me on the edge till the end. Gritty, complex and emotionally charged it’s a well-crafted and dark story of cults, ritual killings and the past that becomes part of the current story.
It could have been a 5* but I didn’t like the romance part that felt a bit like “Ok, now the characters must fall in love as this is a romantic suspense”.
That’s my only issue with this story as the romance seemed to be more a sort of “got to do it” than a relevant part of the plot.
The character are interesting, the plot is fast pace and tightly knitted, and the setting is fascinating and vivid.
I like Amy and Hunter and I like how Hunter’s story was made part of the plot. The character development and storytelling are excellent.
Even if it should be a standalone something at the end of the book made me thing it could be the first in a series.

A gothic psychological thriller, gripping and entertaining.
I was reading this book and thinking that some parts reminded me of Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier and parts the classic gothic novels of the beginning of XIX century.
It’s a story told by different POVs all of them unreliable and all of them hiding some secrets. It’s more a matter of who will be alive at end of the story than who did it.
The character development is quite good and the island is one of the character, maybe the most fascinating as there are plenty of secrets and the descriptions are amazing.
As Italian is my mother language I had some doubts when I read the name of the island (Isola) as it sounded like island Island but as soon as I started reading the description I loved the descriptions.
The character and plot development are quite good even if I think the action starts before we get to know them.
This is the first book I read by this author and liked it. Recommended.
