When Lux McAllister and her boyfriend, Nico, are hired to sail two women to a remote island in the South Pacific, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. She's also quick to bond with their passengers, college best friends Brittany and Amma. Meroe Island is every bit the paradise the foursome expects, despite a mysterious history of shipwrecks, cannibalism, and even rumors of murder

This was unsatisfying in the end. There was so much buildup, but it didn't feel like it paid off. I enjoyed it, but I wanted more
This one was just fine. I hated that I had to read over 200 pages before anything happened. Build up wasn't anything special. There was a twist but it was just okay. Don't really care for the ending personally. 🤷🏼♀️
3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is my second book from this author. The first being “The Wife Upstairs”. I just feel as though this authors writing style isn't for me. Although the characters are all in their 20s (some early 20s, some later) it felt as though they read younger to me - more like teenagers.
I did want to DNF in the beginning but I pushed through. It got more interesting half way through. I could've done without countless use of the word “reckless” - we get it from the title.. they're reckless.
Some of the things that happened and the choices made in the book just didn't seem to make sense to me. The characters weren't very likable. I was a bit bored with the “Before” chapters although I guess I understood why it tied in. Although I do understand the point the author was trying to come across with the ending, it just felt convoluted and nonsensical at times.
It was just an okay read for me.
I had the best time reading this locked Island whodunnit. The only thing that would've made it better is a July release date and me reading it on a sunny beach. I loved the back stories for all the women. Their narratives were well fleshed out and made me care -for the most part- about their stories. I'm partial to a high body count and this one delivers. My only real beef is the title. Don't blame the ladies in this one. It's the men that are terrible in this tale. 4 stars. Compulsive read but save it for the beach if you can.
