Dark island by Daniel Aubrey

dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

I would rate this about 3.75 overall.
The story is great, full of twist, some that are expected, some that are not. The island are described very well, bringing a whole other darkness to the story and making is quite atmospherically. 
I struggled with the main character. Freya should be this strong reporter woman with some questionable past and inner demons. She is all that but she also comes across as a spoilt brat sometimes that can only thing of herself and her problems. 
I felt sorry for her husband at times. Plus her inner fighting somehow slow the pace of the story sometimes and really, this is a fast-paces story that only develops over a few days. 
In summary this is a good book and I would recommended to anyone that enjoys reading dark, fast-paced thrillers.
