It was supposed to be the party of the miles of idyllic white sand beaches, lush jungle foliage...and a dark legend nobody dreamed might be all too true.
When an online influencer and several hundred of his most loyal fans land on Prosperity Island, the plan is five days of elaborate games, drinking, and suntanned fun.
A week in paradise should have been a welcome respite. The only survivor of an infamous cult, Ruth wants nothing more than to keep her head down and not draw attention. She's spent decades outrunning her blood-soaked childhood, and her identity is a closely held secret.
But then the true history of the island is revealed…along with its sinister connection to Ruth's past. As guests go missing and games turn deadly, Ruth and the rest of the attendees are forced to question whether they've really been invited to paradise...or whether something much darker―and far bloodier―is waiting for them just beyond the bonfire's light.
Normally I think of Darcy Coates as the Freida McFadden of horror, but I was surprised that this book actually had some bloody, gory parts, which is fine by me. This was a good story but I wasn't a huge fan of Ruth. I felt that she was portrayed as weak or meek but she survived a cult; it takes a strong individual to do that. Anyway, it was a good book, glad I read it.
