The dark side of paradise is exposed when a terrified couple reveals their daunting experience on a remote island to their rescuers - only to realize theyre still in the grips of the islands secrets - in this intense and startling debut. When a Navy vessel comes across a yacht in distress in the middle of the vast Indian Ocean, Captain Danial Tengku orders his ship to rush to its aid. On board the yacht is a British couple: a horribly injured man, Jake, and his traumatized wife, Virginie, who breathlessly confesses, Its all my fault. I killed them. Trembling with fear, she reveals their shocking story to Danial. Months earlier, the couple had spent all their savings on a yacht, full of excitement for exploring the high seas and exotic lands together. Jake and Virginie start at the busy harbours of Malaysia and, through word of mouth, they learn about a tiny, isolated island full of unspoiled beaches. When they arrive, they discover they are not the only visitors and quickly become entangled with a motley crew of expat sailors. Soon, Jake and Virginies adventurous dream turns into a terrifying nightmare. Now, its up to Danial to determine just how much truth there is in Virginies alarming tale. But when his crew make a shocking discovery, he realizes that if he doesnt act soon, they could all fall under the dark spell of the island.

Tagged along with hubby on a business trip to Toronto. After a bit of retail therapy I‘m now enjoying a little down time with the tagged book. I wouldn‘t mind sailing off to a beautiful tropical island. ☀️🏝️#readyourkindle #readyourebooks

Enjoying this one so far. Virginie and Jake decide to buy a sailboat and live on it. Their plan was to sail to Thailand but made a detour and decided to hang out on a “deserted” island. This reminds me of Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins

After Jake and Virginie go all in on living aboard a boat, they decide to go to a reportedly paradisiacal island in the Indian Ocean. We know things go wrong from how the book starts but only about 3 pages of this “thriller” are at all thrillery. Great idea, poor execution.

I love books set on deserted islands so this was a no-brainer request for me! Newlyweds set sail for a tropical deserted island recommended by a local they meet in a bar. But you know it won‘t be paradise, right? Making friends with the 3 other couples there is a great idea…at first…until things go wrong! Creepy good!

brittanyreads Did you happen to read Reckless Girls?? Curious if this book is better/the same as that one? Thanks! 2y
Alfoster @BrittanyReads Yes, I did! Think I liked them both the same! 2y
brittanyreads Cool, thanks! I enjoyed Reckless Girls and had this one on hold at the library. I'm also a sucker for island thrillers. 2y
