Oh my goodness, what a book!! I gobbled it up in 24 hrs and the ending has left me chilled to the bone. Amazing story that draws you in and makes you feel you are in the Maldives with all these awful people, with the sun burning your back, the sand hot on your feet and the luxury of the rooms making you want to be rich enough to afford to go there.

The characters are well drawn and I really started to feel sorry for some of them even as the horror of what had happened became clear. I’m off to find more books from this author!

Thank you to Netgalley the author and publishers for an arc in exchange for an honest review

What a brilliant read. I didn’t see any of the twists coming - Alexa, Cara, Zach, Cindy and the employee- Devi what a cast of characters and blimey! What. A. Story.
Once I started it, I found it hard to stop, it was so engrossing and entertaining.. I am missing the sun kissed protagonists already. All the stars. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers. #Netgalley #NikkiSmith prepare to meet #TheGuests

Idyllic, Deceiving, Setting…
A beautiful resort in the Maldives, Asana Fushi, shimmers in the dense heat. Every luxury is catered for here but every guest, perhaps every person in this place, holds deep, dark and damaging secrets. How far would these people go to keep them? A luxury holiday in paradise turns fatal in this pacy suspense, with a deftly drawn and mostly unlikeable cast of characters populating a twisting and turning plot bubbling over with menace and tension in an idyllic, yet deceiving, setting. A one sit, tension fuelled ride - the reader will be unable to look away.

I was so surprised to see I had an ARC for Nikkis new book due out in June. It was a brilliant story, I had underlying anxious feelings throughout wondering how it was going to end. Loved the beautiful setting, a place I have wanted to visit for a long time. A story of money, power and greed. People willing to lose everything just to be rich. A great read. Thank you for the opportunity.

With many thanks to Netgalley and Ellie Hudson for the early access arc and I am leaving this unbiased review voluntarily

Oh Nikki Smith! Yet again I have hung on every word, turned every glorious page and been thoroughly addicted. Could not put this book down. It had everything - a great storyline, brilliant characters and a glorious setting with a descriptive narrative to match. Had a slight touch of Agatha Christie about it (and I say that with the greatest of compliments) with the location and the secrets. A go-to author for me for sure. Just perfect!
