By: Kiersten Modglin

Narrated by: Gary Tiedemann, Janina Edwards

It was the trip of a lifetime…until someone ended up dead.

When four couples receive invitations to try out a luxury island resort, they are excited for a week of relaxation and reconnecting.

For some, it’s the honeymoon they never had the chance to take.For others, it’s a last-ditch attempt to save their crumbling marriage.

But when one of the group members ends up dead on the night of a terrible storm, what was once a paradise soon becomes a prison.

Trapped on the island with no cell phone service and no means of escape, the couples fear the worst. What exactly happened to their friend? And could they be next?

Determined to learn the truth, the couples search for answers, but only discover more secrets. Friendships, loyalties, and marriages are put to the ultimate test as they grapple to decide who to trust and who could be a threat.

Will they make it off the island? Or will the perfect getaway turn into their last?

Even more suspenseful and sinister!

I read this twisty thriller months ago and it's one of my favorite KMOD books. Listening to this audiobook added an extra layer of sinister. There was an added amount of suspense I hadn't read originally. I knew what was going to happen and I was still on the edge of my seat, eagerly listening to each chapter. The narrator's did an excellent job with this one!

Loved it!!

My first book by Kiersten Modglin and it was excellent! Grabbed my interest the first chapter. Listened to it straight through all the twists and turns right to an ending I didn’t see coming.

No predicting the ending

I loved loved the book. Had my jaw dropped in shock a few times! I would definitely recommend this book

Hard to follow

Not a bad storyline, just too hard to keep up with the characters. Up until the end I was confused about who the couples were.

Good plot but...

I almost gave up half way through the book. The characters were too introspective and their feelings and questions were repeated over and over again. When a character asks himself/herself the same question 5 times in 2 minutes , it's too much. The friendships are interesting and from the beginning we feel that some things are left unsaid about those relationships. As the story progresses, the unspoken tension uncoils and you realize that perhaps things are not as they seem. You are led on different paths, thinking you know what is happening only to find out...you are going in the wrong direction. Once I found out what the secrets were, I really wondered why they were kept as secrets for years. They did not seem to rise to the level of earth shattering. The island as a setting is great for the mystery. The characters are likeable and mostly relatable. The friendships leave you wanting lifelong friends. Ending is satisfying but not mid boggling. Overall good plot and good narrator.
