You’ll want to stay. Until you can’t leave…

A group of strangers arrive on a beautiful but remote island, ready for the challenge of a lifetime: to live there for one year, without contact with the outside world.

But twelve months later, on the day when the boat is due to return for them, no one arrives.

Eight people stepped foot on the island. How many will make it off alive?

A totally addictive psychological thriller with twists and turns you just won’t see coming. Fans of The Hunting Party, The Castaways and The Sanatorium will be totally gripped from the very first page until the final, breath-taking conclusion.

Wow, well that was more addictive and compelling than I was perhaps expecting 

It got under my skin early one and I read it in two sittings, barely pausing for breathe, 

It's claustrophobic in places, utterly terrifying in others, and it's amazing how fast a group fo people can turn on each other and make someone fear for their life. 

This is arguably when a reality TV show goes very wrong, and when civilised people collapse into mob rule, the world becomes a very scary place.

At least it is when on a remote Scottish Island trying to survive on the land for a year with 7 strangers, 

I know I can't do this book justice, but I urge you to give it a go if the blurb has remotely caught your eye. You won't regret it. 

Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
