This was the most unhinged book I’ve read in a long time and I truly mean that as a compliment. If I’m in the mood for a bananas thriller, but one that provides a great escape and is a whole lot of fun along the way I know I can always turn to this author. Her plots are always slightly ridiculous and some things just work out a little too conveniently, but if you want brain candy this was a blast. The chapters are short, you get several POVs and with lots of twists you will have a hard time setting this one down. Don’t think too much when you’re reading this, suspend all disbelief and just enjoy the ride and I think you’ll have a good time with this addictive read.

I have mixed ratings and thoughts when it comes to this author but I have to say, this is definitely one of my favorites from her. Her books are always quick, short reads and this one packs quite a punch with some really unexpected twists that got me good. I had no idea how this would end but the direction the author went was so great for me and it’s narrated by Julia Whelan so the audio version was a must for me. She’s just so damn good!

This is the third book in the Frankie Elkin series and it is best if you read them in order because there are some minor spoilers here. Frankie is still dealing with the repercussions from the last book and she references previous events a few times so definitely go back to the first two books, they’re SO good! Frankie is exactly the type of character who can truly carry a thriller series, she’s highly complex and very interesting and with every book a new piece of the puzzle of Frankie is revealed making me only want to know more.

Although I was interested in the story right away it does take some time for things to really get going but the journey to get to the true action was still entertaining for me. Frankie is undercover for this case posing as an employee and she’s as out of her element as she was in the last book. The location of the island and how very isolated everyone is added so much tension and unsettling feelings to the story, I always love when a beautiful locale is the setting for something creepy and this definitely had that. The twists were really good and I definitely didn’t see them coming and the last quarter was really gripping. LG is such a trusted author for me, she always delivers and this one was fantastic.

I really liked the setup for this one and especially the idea of being forced to trust and rely on a stranger or even more than one and found myself wondering throughout the book how I would react and what decisions I would make. Knowing that all of these people had some sort of secret they were keeping really had me switching back and forth on who was trustworthy and who wasn’t and as clues were slowly revealed I still never quite figured it out before things were over. This was a snappy read, very short but also incredibly fast paced with a lot of action packed in a small package and it begs to be read in a single sitting. It’s also perfect for this time of year if you’re a seasonal reader because it’s set during an epic snow storm which gives everything an added dangerous feeling. I always have fun with the authors books and I sure did here too!
