It seemed to me when I was listening to this that it was a bit drawn out. I felt like no one was really getting anywhere trying to solve the mystery of who or what the islanders really were or who the bad person/people were either. That being said, I did enjoy it. There is a ton of mystery and a fairly good story here. Some twists and some intense situations. I enjoyed getting to know some of the characters and trying to figure out some of the others. The ending was not what I was expecting. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
