MY REVIEW
No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Oh dear book, how could you do this to me?
You carried me on the wave of suspense before dashing me on the rocks of silliness.
You showed me the mystery of the locked room/island before blowing it all apart.
You showed me a tight plotline where 7 were brought to an island and their secrets exposed before shoving holes into it.
You showed how brilliant a writing could be, filled with intrigue, before leading me to nothingness.
You brought scifi to suspense before making it sound like a rueful comedy.
Oh dear book, I fell in love with your cover and you showed me the fool I am to judge your beauty.
I was intrigued by your blurb and you showed me how it was possible to make it go nowhere.
I had so many wonderful theories and you showed me how my theories were better than yours.
Oh dear book, I wanted to love you so, but you made me regret the hours spent.
Sighhh…

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my journey down its pages, straight from the heart. STRICTLY HONEST and UNBIASED.

I liked the sound of this one, but trust your reviews. I think I will pass this one by when I have so many others to get through.
True. It went on a complete weird tangent and many questions were never answered
I have had a similar feedback from many other bloggers. Hopefully your next read will be better.
