Murder, gore, corpses, anima death, overdose, (Mentioned: death of a parent/friend/sibling, stalking, bullying) Everybody around the world is dying to visit the exclusive invite only Unknown Island resort. When it first opens its doors, it chooses ten elite influencers to be its first guests. Except thing aren't what they seem, and everyone has a deadly secret, the reason why they were invited in the first place. What looked like a dream vacation is now turning into a nightmare, and it looks like the ten of them are never coming home.
I was initially intrigued when I learned this all took place on an isolated island. It sounded like the perfect backdrop for a thriller. There's a large cast of characters at the beginning and it took a while to remember who they were and not mix them up. The list of influencers at the beginning of the book helped a lot, but many of the characters didn't last long. Speaking of that, I felt that you didn't have a lot of time to get to know who the characters were so it was hard to sympathize with what happened. I did enjoy that they all had their own backgrounds and histories though. Unfortunately I was able to figure out the big plot twist about halfway through the book. But I thought that the reasons why they all were invited to the island were cleverly created. In the end, I was a little underwhelmed with this story but enjoyed the setting and overall concept. I gave this book 3/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's a wrap on my review of Never Coming Home by Kate Williams! I hope you enjoyed it!
