Oh. My. Gosh. This, this book right here, is the thriller I've been looking for… Ho. Lee. Cow. Folks. I feel like calling it a “plot twist” is an understatement… Clear your schedule because you will not be wanting to set this down.’ Lily Michaels ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You’ve been excited about this getaway for months–at last, a chance to reconnect with your husband at a secluded island resort. But when he unexpectedly calls you from the beach, you hear the urgency in his voice. Something is very wrong. Waiting for the shoe to drop in this compelling read made for a bumpy, albeit enjoyable ride. In fact, not only was the drama more than intense, the ending grabbed me by the throat and truly caught me by surprise, especially as this book was written in first person, from more than one point of view. This made it even more difficult to guess the killer. Job well done, Ms. Watson. It is with bated breath that I await your next read. Can I give this 10 stars? That's what it deserves!… This is why I read! For books like this!… LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this one!’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

So Sam tells Daisy she looks pale, and Daisy interprets that to mean Sam sees her as a picture of sophistication? I….but….::sigh:: I could not stand the constant yo-yoing with the hot and cold, deep into and withdrawal of relationships and thoughts of the couples: it just seemed so unbelievable and far away from reality. There was always something happening, and the hotels atmosphere matched with the unsettling vibe you got while reading.In addition to her expert use of weather, Watson is deft at utilizing the setting to add depth and richness to her writing. Fitzgerald’s is a luxury hotel set on an island. Resort guests are lured by the glitz and glamour and dress to impress. It’s a calling card for deception; people pretend to be someone they’re not and their actions parallel their pretense. People were pretending they’d nothing to hide! Interestingly, the hotel’s old world charm with the crystal chandeliers and opulent colour palettes lose their glitz and become shabby and dim as evil grows and starts to take over the island. Once the guests realize they can’t leave due to the police investigation, their outlook dims, and what was once considered a luxury vacation “feels more like a prison sentence.” Utterly impossible to put down. I devoured this book in just one sitting… Gripped me from the beginning… There is absolutely no way I could predict where this was going… Will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. You’ll be gripped.’ Little Miss Book Lover 87 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

There are also a lot of inner monologues of characters thinking about things (sometimes to the point of tedium) and then later explaining that something happened. Three couples are on holiday at a secluded island resort looking to have the time of their lives but end up in a murder investigation. When Stella the resorts bartender is discovered dead at the bottom of nearby cliffs everyone is under suspicion and forced to remain available for police interviews.

The Resort, Sue Watson's upcoming psychological thriller has mind blowing twists that you will not be able to resist. Sue is not afraid to take on darker elements of high tension and drama which has led to her massive popularity. Her books have sold over a million copies to date. It was supposed to be an idyllic honey moon on a deserted island but for Sam & David it was a nightmare. Noah's concern for Emma, and her refusal to confront her traumatic experience, have driven a wedge between the couple. Pursuing Pasaje based on the romanticized ideal of Sam and Violet, who like Noah and Emma fell in love at Christmas, is a way for Emma to reconnect with their relationship as it was before. When she finally reaches Pasaje, however, she decides not to enter the pool, later telling Noah that she " didn't want to lose 15 years." There's a dual meaning to this statement. I was so tense… I had no idea what was going to happen from one chapter to the next… BOOM!!I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT ENDING AT ALL! I loved it! If I could rate it more than a 5, I would. This has been one of, if not the best thrillers I have read!… Loved, loved, loved it!’ Kindlewithdanni ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sam and David Harrison are on their Honeymoon ~ (however David is so critical of Sam; he certainly has my Spidey sense on alert!)

A beautiful, secluded island resort sounds like a dream but for the three couples in this book - it becomes a nightmare! It was built in the 1920s and although has been remodeled several, it takes pride in maintaining the vibe and look of era it was created. Luna best explains the show's real meaning when she observes that " They lost time [...] It's pretty on the surface, but if you squint, it's f***ed up." The Resort is a story all about the destructive pull of nostalgia. Violet is so desperate to see her mother again and relive the time in which she was alive that she abandons her father for 15 years. Sam and Violet's love story appeals to Emma because it's sort of like time travel. Through them, she can relive that time when " everything is so meaningful and the highs are, like, so f***ing high" before " the lows keep getting lower."

The heat throughout the hotel is even more intense. You can’t escape it. Like a stalker it follows us, creeps around and settles wherever we are, making us tired, tense and argumentative.” You’ve been excited about this getaway for months – at last, a chance to reconnect with your husband at a secluded island resort. But when he unexpectedly calls you from the beach, you hear the urgency in his voice. Something is very wrong. Oh my goodness… My head is still spinning…Twist after twist, jaw-dropper after jaw-dropper, bombshell after bombshell… I didn’t know who to trust and it was all just so delicious!’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
