It should have been an idyllic vacation...a beach, the sun, a cabana, but when your husband is a workaholic, holed up in the hotel room, and you're left to your own devices, you find yourself saying yes to things that you normally wouldn't. Like when a stranger singles you out to ask, "Would you like a free boat ride?" The "boat" is actually a yacht, and there is zero chance of having your husband join you, so you say yes, partly out of boredom, partly to live a little, and partly in the hopes t...
Actual rating 2 stars based on the abrupt ending.I enjoyed this for the most part but there was no real conclusion to the crime. I feel like Modglin has a lot of twisty interesting ideas but cannot deliver on them all the way.
Recently I've been seeing a lot of reviews for Kiersten Modglin's books and since The Missing was free with my Kindle Unlimited membership and I had downloaded it a while back, I started reading it one night when our tv was on the fritz. Katy is vacationing with her husband in Florida when she is approached by a young man asking whether she'd be interested in a free boat tour. The boat is actually a yacht and since her husband is spending most of their vacation working, she decides to take the o...
I.DONT.EVEN.KNOW.WHAT. TO.SAY. So, I have been "missing " on an island all day...and I just got home.I'm sitting here after power reading this book and I don't know where to begin....because once again Kiersten has written a book that NO ONE will anticipate or see coming and believe me when I say this.... NO ONE!This book is unlike any book she has written before, yet so familiar with the signature crazy twists and unbelievable situations she is known for...you will in no way anticipate or c...
Listen, I flew through this book. It was engaging from the beginning and super easy to read. However, by the 80% mark I was getting a bit edgy by how little was left with not much resolve... And it kind of just stayed that way. I was like OOOOKAAAAY HERE WE GO, HERE COME THE TWISTS. Alas, come, they did not.Man, even at the very end, when the police say that they've found the island and she was going to go back, I was like GIRL DONT DO IT, DON'T DO IT GIRL, YOU'RE GOING TO GET DONE AGAIN, but no...
A lightish read about a group of five folks who are "invited" to board a tour boat but find themselves abandoned on a supposedly-deserted island in the middle of nowhere.They are forced to fend for themselves and soon find out that only one of them is expected to survive! The book dwells a lot on the central character and her thoughts about the dying relationship with her workaholic spouse but we learn little about the other survivors.The book has a subtle but rather incredulous twist at the end...
Nothing can prepare you for the suspenseful, and at times, bone-chilling journey of five strangers thrust together on an offer of a free boat ride. Katy, Noah, Harry, Ava and James have nothing in common. They're from different walks of life and find themselves not only stranded together, but now pitted against one another for survival. Everything that they experienced had me feeling as if I were right there with them as they and their story were impeccably written. KMod's signature shocking an...
This book needs to be on every Thriller lover's summer TBR. I was able to start and finish this book within 8 hours, which does not happen very often. There could have been a natural disaster occurring outside and I would have been oblivious. Is there a greater feeling than when you truly get lost in a story? I think not!The stories that are currently really pulling me in are the ones where I can armchair travel. I NEED a vacation, as I am sure some of you can as well! Katy is on vacation with h...
There you are sipping your drink, reading your kindle, stretched out on an idyllic beach in Key West, when asked if you'd like a free boat/yacht ride with free drinks and food? With your husband working from the hotel room, leaving you alone, yet again... Why not? Sounds good, doesn't it? What can I say, Kiersten Modglin has done it again! Another edge of your seat, suspenseful, fast paced, fun read! Filled with bone chilling intensity, mounting palpable tension, and unrelenting twists and turns...
This was a fun and twisting story full of suspense and adventure. Some of the turns I could see coming but others did take my by surprise. The writing flowed and the story was hard for me to put down. The characters were well developed and even when they weren’t exactly like able they were compelling. What would you do if you were trapped on an island for 4 strangers and told that only one of you could leave, the last one alive. That is what happens to poor Katy after she agrees to a free boat r...
What a fun, entertaining, engaging book with a terrific narrator. I appreciated the small cast of characters who were easily distinguishable. I’m going to have to read more of Modglin’s books.
This is one of the #kmod books that was sitting on my shelf but after seeing it as an audible deal of the day how could I say no?! 🤷🏻♀️Five strangers end up on a deserted island, how many of them will make if off alive?Think you’ve heard this story? Think again. She knows how to twist every trope and make it unique. This is why she is and always will be one of my favs! 💜😎
