The Last Resort by Susi Holliday

Synopsis:

When Amelia is invited to an all-expenses-paid retreat on a private island, the mysterious offer is too good to refuse. Along with six other strangers, she’s told they’re here to test a brand-new product for Timeo Technologies. But the guests’ excitement soon turns to terror when the real reason for their summons becomes clear.

Each guest has a guilty secret. And when they’re all forced to wear a memory-tracking device that reveals their dark and shameful deeds to their fellow guests, there’s no hiding from the past. This is no luxury retreat—it’s a trap they can’t get out of.

As the clock counts down to the lavish end-of-day party they’ve been promised, injuries and in-fighting split the group. But with no escape from the island—or the other guests’ most shocking secrets—Amelia begins to suspect that her only hope for survival is to be the last one standing. Can she confront her own dark past to uncover the truth—before it’s too late to get out?

Review:

Fabulous, fast moving, mysterious thriller. Very clever concept that was completely new to me and very much goes with modern day technology advances and where they might (scarily) lead to.

Amelia finds herself on a secret island with 6 other strangers, all there for a supposedly luxury, never-been-seen before adventure retreat. They all signed a non-disclosure agreement, which makes this trip that little bit more exciting.

However, the trip just doesn’t go the way they expect. Right from the start, the main bit they were looking for, the promised luxury, is missing and replaced with pain, fear, cold and confusion. And it just goes from bad to worse very quickly. With the use of some very clever technology, their biggest sins and secrets are replayed for all to see. And amongst all this chaos, Amelia feels alone, with a growing sense of knowing exactly where she is and why.

Some brilliantly clever twist and turns, this book won’t allow you to put it down.

Thank you to the author and TBConFB.
