About this listen

 INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Hot on the heels of the New York Times bestsellers The Twin and The Lake, another pulse-pounding read from the undisputed queen of YA thrillers!

They said goodbye to their friends and family for the weekend. They weren’t counting on forever.

Jagged Island: a private amusement park for the very rich—or the very influential. Liam, James, Will, Ava, Harper, and Paisley—social media influencers with millions of followers—have been invited for an exclusive weekend before the park opens. They’ll make posts and videos for their channels and report every second of their VIP treatment.

When the teens arrive, they're stunned: the resort is even better than they’d imagined. Their hotel rooms are unreal, the park’s themed rides are incredible, and the island is hauntingly beautiful. They’re given a jam-packed itinerary for the weekend.

But soon they'll discover that something's missing from their schedule: getting off the island alive. Action & Adventure Horror Literature & Fiction Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Thrillers & Suspense Exciting

Critic Reviews

Reviews for The Island:

A Publishers Weekly bestseller!

"Few authors who aren’t named Karen McManus can do YA thrillers as well as Natasha Preston."--PASTE

"Keeps the tensions high right up to the very last word."--SLJ

"Preston utilizes the uniqueness of the human-made island setting to great effect, providing an impish playfulness to the steadily escalating stakes and body count."--PW

"Part Agatha Christie, part Fyre Fest, and part Glass Onion, Preston’s novel is good fun for fans of quick thrillers."--Booklist

Characters were flat and lacked any substance and the story was pretty similar. It was hard to follow, lazy and scenes seemed to be based on convenience.
