This was a good book, but it took me longer to read then most, it just didn't keep my interest for to long.

This book was so good! I want to see more from this author in the future!! I couldn't put this book down. What a page turner!!!

Sadly I just could not get into this one. I wanted to love it, but it was just too much detail and too much of a slow burn.

The author’s previous book and premise of this book had me very excited to read it, but it fell flat for me. The story line got confusing at times as did the characters. Overall, it was an okay read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

If Nine Perfect Strangers met The Guest List, it would be The Club.

Did I love it? No. But I did keep reading. Dramatic, intriguing, and mysterious. This book was twisty and I didn’t know how it was going to end, but it was missing something for me.

The Club is for the elite of the elite celebrities. However, it didn't seem like an above average place to be. In the story there are a lot of characters to keep track, and only one story line that I cared about. Overall, I gave this three stars because I found it average. There wasn't anything I truly disliked, but I was bored and disengaged at times and enjoyed it at other times.

Thank you NetGalley, for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

I loved this book! I usually prefer shorter chapters, so that would be the only thing I had any complaints with (and it's not much of a complaint). The writing style was great. It was suspenseful and added in key information with perfect timing. I did not expect the plot twists and was happy we were able to read from the account of multiple perspectives (but not so many, as to be overwhelming). Overall, I really enjoyed this and think it's even better than their previous novel! Thank you so much for providing me with a digital copy, Netgalley, publisher, and Ellery Lloyd!

Fast paced and very engaging. It’s very well written and enjoyable. It kept me guessing the whole time. I would definitely recommend to others!

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

It was hard for me to get into this book and keep track of all of the characters and accounts. After a pretty slow start, the action really picked up and became a more intense murder mystery. Overall, the storyline was decent, but the over saturation of descriptions, characters, and details was too much to overcome for me.

Tight, well paced thriller. All of the characters were well developed and motives were clear for most actions and reactions to major plot points. This book kept me interested throughout and I don’t usually enjoy thrillers.

I really wanted to liked this. Unfortunately, I never felt truly invested in this one. This is a book about mostly unlikable characters who are members of a private worldwide club. When a new clubhouse opens on an island off the coast of England, only the most VIP are invited and this is where things should get interesting. However for me, it fell flat. There was a number of different characters to remember, too much needless backstory (and I love a good character development, but this one was lost on me) and honestly not enough to keep me on the edge of my seat. I’m sure others will like this, but this one was not for me.

This was a heck of a book with many unlikeable characters, especially Ned Groom, who is the founder of luxury, celebrity getaways deemed "The Club," with his brother Dan. The newest "club" is treacherous to get to and you have to pass through a causeway to get in and what awaits is nothing short of everyone's wildest dreams. There is a 3 day party to celebrate the launch.

Of course the party goes to pieces. Many last minute demands by Ned, who works treats his staff like garbage. Staff wanting to sabotage the launch. Everyone has secrets.

But then several murders happen. HMM. This is when the book turns to murder mystery. At this point, I felt the book did not know what it wanted to be, but I wanted to pushed to the end.

Was there a happy ending? You will have to read to find out.

THanks to Netgalley, Ellery Lloyd and Harper for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Already available!

This books is dragged on so slow for me. I’m going to try and listen to the audio book when it becomes available at the library but I had a really hard time focusing to read it. The premise of the book seems like something I’d really enjoy.

This one was definitely an interesting premise and I loved the idea of the look into the lives of the incredibly rich/famous, and overall I enjoyed it. It felt like there was almost too much going on sometimes, so it was almost overwhelming, but I think that lent to the book feeling more immersive. Also I just wanted to note that this felt so different than the last Ellery Lloyd I read, so I loved the pivot and showcasing a different side of their writing.

I wanted to love this book, but I just found it impossible to get into. Such a slow start, I found myself constantly losing interest. I will plan to give it another go when I have more energy for a slow burn. But it definitely wasn't the thriller I hoped for.

What a disappointing book! I was so excited to read this one and it was dark depressing and frankly kind of boring. Premise sounded great- rich people behaving badly in an ultra exclusive resort. Very glamorous in theory. However there were too many characters and all were absolutely awful horrible people. I really did not care about most of the story lines l. I contemplated quitting several times and probably should have. I don’t mind reading about terrible people but have to have some redeeming feature - quirkiness, sense of humor. These folks had absolutely nothing memorable about them at all.

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC

Overall I enjoyed this book. Interesting concept, great storyline but it did get long in some parts. Overall 3/5 star from me.

Such a good book, I think people are gonna really love this one. Keep me wanting more the whole way through. Thank you!

Thank you to Harper Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me to read this digital ARC (also received physical ARC too).

I was excited to hear Reese chose this book for her March bookclub - and in general I do enjoy the books she picked. However, not sure I loved this pick. It was a very interesting plot (love the idea of an island so exclusive it hurts)...., and the writing was impeccable. But for me the story moved too slowly and too many stories to follow and really hard to get in to. .

This one was just okay for me. I felt like there was a lot of fluff/detail that made it difficult for me to follow and remember. I wanted to love this one so bad, everything sounded so great!!! But unfortunately, it fell flat.
