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.
