When refugees fleeing their home country land on an island in Africa deadwood has given anything to go back home. What they were faced with would take the lives moments after arriving and although song would live a little longer only two sisters and a baby would survive the whole time. When a pirate taken seven refugees to South Africa ran in to a hurricane they were lucky to land on an island or at least that’s what they thought. Moments after arriving they were faced with 7 foot tall blue men who were ravenous for blood. After Ethee told her sister Gordy to run they Took off for the woods. When they looked back they could see the blue creatures ripping the companions throat out with their teeth. They made it all the way to a high Rockwall but when Gordy was handing the baby down so she too could climb off-the-wall she fell and dislodged her shoulder. Etsy was a nurse but there was no time to fix it the creatures were coming in they had to find safety. Finally they came to an underground bunker The only problem was there was a code to get in and while Gordy press buttons in the creatures fast approached they thought they were doing but at the last minute the door miraculously opened. Little did Gordie and FC no with someone on the other side of the world in Arizona was watching them in eventually they would be their only hope. This was such a good book the drama was high The action with fluid and the twist seem to pop up right at the correct time. The only negative I hear about this book and this is a big one is the throughout the book they use blasphemy and I know this isn’t high on many peoples do not do list but it’s Number one on mine. To me that is disrespectful is is calling gay people the F word all African-Americans the N-word. You don’t have to be homosexual to respect those who are so why can’t you respect people‘s religious choices. Sorry for the rant that just really upsets me I mean the whole time reading this book I kept cringing at the use of our Lords name in vain. I mean if an author can you think of other words to use then we’re all doomed. I would’ve given this book 5 stars but due to the time I spent cringing I’m only giving it four stars. It really is a good book in the surprises or OMG moments especially Victor. I received this book from NetGalleyShelf and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Many thanks to the publisher, the author, and NetGalley for my copy of the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was drawn to Frenzy Island by the cover and thr promise of Jurassic Park-like content. As a big fan of Jurassic Park, I flung myself at the chance to read this, but unfortunately I'm left quite disappointed.

The premise is right up my alley. A boat of refugees washes up on the shores of an unknown island near Madagascar, and are almost immediately set upon by terrifying monsters - seven foot tall blue men. We primarily follow the sisters Esperance and Godriva (and Godriva's infant, Buki), and Cynthia, the woman safe in Arizona, monitoring the CCTV cameras of the compound the women come across.

Big, terrifying monster-men are fun. I read through the first 60% of this super quickly to try to learn what the deal was with them and the island, because there's nothing I love more than a "what the heck is going on here" sci-fi mystery.

What wasn't fun was how... silly the book became. Without giving spoilers, the reasons for the men being the way they were was far-fetched and implausible even in the scope of the sci-fi setting, and when the Generic Grey You-Know-What appeared I emotionally dropped out of the book altogether. Sci-fi only works if you can get your audience to achieve suspension of disbelief, and unfortunately the big reveals failed to do that for me.

Some feedback that may have been picked up already for the final printed copies, but just in case not: please change the two instances of "feint" to "faint", and "lightening" to "lightning".

I thoroughly enjoyed the Trump-bashing and the huge ginger cat called Mashed Potato. Highlights of the story!

FRENZY ISLAND is a breathtaking, nonstop, Science Fiction Horror which may well upend your worldview! Since I first saw it mentioned, I 've been desperate to read it, and the novel lived up to its promise, as I raced through it in one day, dropping everything else. It's also efficiently clued in on today's culture of misinformation, disinformation, and outright deception and wool-pulling over the eyes of the "untutored" masses. As a famous long-running SciFi series taught us, "Trust No One."
