This was a fast-paced absorbing read that I had a hard time putting down. So much so that I read it in one day. It was a nice blend of Big Brother meets Survivor.
LoveWrecked is back after a hiatus! Contestants are randomly selected to live on a villa on a Greek Island. Each must pair up with another contestant and the two member teams must pass challenges while viewers watch and vote on who they enjoy watching the most. Whoever wins gets a monetary prize. Kimberly King could use the money just as much as she could use a fresh start. She is a former police officer who, for the last five years, has been attempting to dull out the reasons she left the police force.
But soon she and the other contestants will learn that not everything is as it seems. After enjoying a meal together, things go downhill – FAST. In the morning they will wake up to find one of the contestants DEAD! It is just them and the small filming crew, so it’s safe to assume that one of them is a killer!
Things go from bad to worse fast. As they scramble to stay alive, they must also rely on Kimberly to solve the mystery while their viewers watch on live television. The plot, as they say, thickens.
This was a fun mystery and like Kimberly, I was trying to solve the case! Who would want to kill this group of people? To what gain? How can all of this unravel on live television? Who will you suspect? It is easy to be skeptical of all the contestants. They are quick to fight, argue, scream, rant and there was obviously a cat on the island as it certainly had a few of their tongues.
You will instantly feel the And Then There Were None vibe in this book. It was highly entertaining to watch the characters unravel and begin to show their true selves as the book progressed. Reading this was fun and the plot was addictive. There are some twists and turns which moved the book along at a quick speed.
If you are looking for a book to escape with, this is a good choice.
Thank you to Canelo and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
