THE CLUB starts building steam from page 1 as the privileged members of a very exclusive club prepare for the ultimate party. When a body is found, the party goers will start looking at their friends a little differently. Exciting premise played with a surprise in every chapter.

I loved the plot, as it contained certain elements that I always enjoy: rich people drama, luxury lifestyles, and multi-layered mysteries to be unraveled. Great premise and solid character development, but the story didn’t flow as well as what I’d hoped.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper for providing me with an ARC of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

The Club, People Like Her 2 Books Collection Set By Ellery Lloyd by Ellery Lloyd is a perfect fit for readers who crave a thrilling and suspenseful tale of rich people drama, secrets, and murder, with a dash of luxury and intrigue, and are eager to unravel the dark and mysterious threads that weave together to create a gripping murder mystery.

Torn on this because I usually really, REALLY like books by Ellery Lloyd.... but this one just didn't do it for me. I couldn't connect to it well. Maybe it's a me-problem and not a book-problem, and because of that, I won't review this anywhere outside of NetGalley. I'd hate my issues with it t9 unfairly put off another reader. I also 0lab to actively search for books by Lloyd in the future, as I know there is talent there. This book just wasn't it for me, sadly.

The Clubs can be found around the world and the wealthy are dying to join. Good thing I'm not wealthy, or dying to join. The Club just didn't hit it for me. Most of the time while reading, it felt like I was just reading the words to finish the book. This was painful for me to finish and was almost my first DNF.

This was a difficult read to finish. Wanted to love it but the plot fell apart for me. The idea itself was strong and there was great character development, but the story didn’t flow as well as what I’d hoped.

I loved this book! It's well-written, enjoyable, and a great read. Ellery Lloyd did a great job of writing in a way that captures the readers attention, and makes you not want to put it down until you're finished! I would highly recommend it!

Thank you for a free E-Arc of this book! This book was a wild ride. I loved the premise of the story. The characters were interesting and each had a purpose in the story. The idea of an exclusive club was not a new concept, but the way the author spun the plot as well as the layers of mystery surrounding the club was unique! I finished this book in less than a day. Well done!

DNF at 36%. It’s boring and it’s jumpy and I’m having trouble following it. Setting it down for now. Tried it on both kindle and audio. Not for me.

Thank you for the review edition of this book.

I like a book that has the mystery of an exclusive club. This book did not fall short of my expectations. It was a wild ride and I enjoyed the whole thing.

This book started out with twisted storylines, with murder and secrets and you would think this will be great it had a very soap opera feel but something was missing and I felt as if It took more energy keeping the characters sorted out trying to figure now who was that character and what did they do again? I felt like the author has it out for celebrities lol.. It was kind of outlandish but a little predictable at the same time.
I give it a 3.5 because this could be a great visual experience if ever turned into a mini series of some sort If some changes were made.

This one was not a hit for me. A little slow, so many characters, and then it all wrapped up so quickly.

The Club was a mystery about a highly exclusive clubs across the world but as they're opening the newest location, tempers are flaring and the newest island getaway leads to mysterious death.

This book was very lackluster to me: very little character development and overall, too much time focusing on the exclusivity of the clubs that I didn't care to find out about the actual deaths or any mystery surrounding it.

This one was pretty underwhelming. So there are some people dead on an exclusive island for celebrities. We spend the whole book learning what led up to these deaths and why they occurred. In the end I determined that I absolutely didn't even care, even a tiny bit, about any of them. So unfortunately, this one was a miss for me.

This was a quick read for me!

Welcome to the The Home Group this is a glamorous collection of celebrity members' clubs that are dotted across the globe, where only the rich and famous can party hard and then crash out in its five-star suites, far from the prying eyes of fans and the media.

Behind the scenes tempers are flaring, the owners of The Club are Ned and Adam the budget is stretched and there has been countless delays. How will Ned be able to keep his Club running? Everyone is at their breaking point secrets people are hiding secrets, we soon witness within a a day, bodies begin piling up, and all the dirty secrets come to light, despite all the measures taken to keep them hidden.

This is a suburban drama rich people behaving badly thriller. It was good and fast paced.
It takes place on an island where only members can get in. However the group going have secrets and unknown grudges about others so things will go wrong and turn into a murder mystery. Great fun read!

"The Club" by Elderly Lloyd offers an intriguing premise that had me curious from the start. While the mystery aspect kept me engaged, I found the pacing to be a bit uneven, with moments of excitement interspersed with slower segments. The characters were intriguing but felt somewhat underdeveloped, leaving me wanting more depth in their personalities. While the book kept me entertained, I couldn't help but wish for a more consistent flow and deeper exploration of the story's potential.

Unfortunately, this one missed the mark for me. I was only able to make about half way through, before I ended up calling this a DNF.

I really enjoyed this book- it contained all the best parts of suspense, multiple narration, and the twists. I did not figure out the ending until the twists were revealed. I would say - the ending (last 10% or so) seemed long.
