Seven strangers. Seven secrets. One perfect crime. When Amelia is invited to an all-expenses-paid retreat on a private island, the mysterious offer is too good to refuse. Along with six other strangers, she's told they're here to test a brand-new product for Timeo Technologies. But the guests' excitement soon turns to terror when the real reason for their summons becomes clear. Each guest has a guilty secret. And when they're all forced to wear a memory-tracking device that reveals their dark and shameful deeds to their fellow guests, there's no hiding from the past. This is no luxury retreat--it's a trap they can't get out of. As the clock counts down to the lavish end-of-day party they've been promised, injuries and in-fighting split the group. But with no escape from the island--or the other guests' most shocking secrets--Amelia begins to suspect that her only hope for survival is to be the last one standing. Can she confront her own dark past to uncover the truth--before it's too late to get out?… (mer)

Twists and turns

Quite enjoyable, I love the way the story unfolds. Intriguing, keeps you reading until the very end! The technology involved was interesting. ( )

Seven strangers are invited to an all-expenses-paid retreat on a private island, the mysterious offer is too good to refuse.

On reaching the island, they are told they’re here to test a brand-new product for Timeo Technologies. But the guests’ excitement soon turns to terror when the real reason for their summons becomes clear. Each guest has a guilty secret. And when they’re all forced to wear a memory-tracking device that reveals their dark and shameful deeds to their fellow guests, there’s no hiding from the past. This is no luxury retreat—it’s a trap they can’t get out of.

Unfortunately for me this book did not work out. I was intrigued by the cover and the premise but after a few chapters into the book, I did not find it much exciting.

The technology described in the book is something unique and amazing. I just felt that the plot had a lot more to offer especially in terms of the ending since it was kind of weird.

Thank You to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for this ARC! ( )

THE LAST RESORT BY SUSI HOLLIDAY is set on a remote island somewhere.Six people have devices implanted into their heads and are given a set time to find the big house on the island.

I felt two ways about the book. At first I thought what a creepy setup. But as I hit the last few chapters of it I found myself asking if there could have been a better ending. Before the last few chapters I was ready to give it a five star. After finishing the book I'm down to four . ( )

This was my Amazon first reads pick for November 2020. The title is an interesting play on words where resort could mean the luxury resort the people were promised and last meaning it is the last time they will go to a resort. Last resort is also a common saying--or was at least.

I forgot that Anne and George were assumed names. (It's told to us, I just forgot.) If I had remembered that, I might have pieced together the story sooner. ( )

This book was given to me by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 7 strangers set out for a "luxury" retreat. They have all signed a non-disclosure statement. They all have secrets. They are under the pretense that they are there to hype up a new vacation/resort area. However, they are exposed to new technology. They are all suspicious, of the retreat and of each other. I suppose when I requested this book, I didn't read the full description, so as I am reading I was really trying to figure out what the heck was happening. The book is told from the perspective of the 4 women on the trip. There is also the back story from 2000 interspersed. The reader does not know whose is involved in the back story. Thinking Big Brother meets Survivor. I enjoyed reading this but I felt this book led up to a really strong point, but the ending seemed just a little flat to me. ( )
