Great story with great character development. The writing was very good, fast paced and detailed enough to spin a web.

Such a unique, surprising book, I didn’t expect what would happen. I really enjoyed the storyline and the way the past and present intertwined.

Some confusing sections where, in a book that jumps between different timelines, characters would recount memories and therefore shift the timeline further so I lost track of some scenes a little around 3/4 of the way through.
Overall enjoyable though, the early stages of the mystery are interesting and the darkness of the island and its inhabitants was effective. The big answer was a bit disappointing compared to the questions but I think that's par for the course with mystery stories.

4.25

Such a great audiobook, the story and the voice actors were stellar. I would have given it 5 stars however

near the very end it  does feel very over explained and everything turns out a little too conveniently for everyone involved

Still, very good, would recommend!
