This review was originally posted on Bookish Things & MoreQuickie Review
I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the story line, and that's what kept me reading, but I could not stand the characters.

I'm not sure how I would manage being stuck on an island with someone I don't know. And this is where we find Bianca. She wants to know who put them there and has to decide if she can trust Jakob. And of course there is sex because we all have needs, and sometimes the hottie you're stuck with is the best option for that.

I didn't care for Bianca or Jakob really. They both seem like flat characters, there isn't much dimension to them. And they annoyed the hell out of me most of the time.

Even with that being said I'll continue the series, because like I said the plot hooked me. I need to know what's going to happen next. Even if I want to beat the characters over the head with a stick. ( )

What an unexpected book. Never thought that this would be such a mystery and thriller filled story. Jakob seems to be hiding a lot but I'm looking forward to the next book to see where this tale goes. ( )

I'm not sure how to rate this, I think I will need to decide as I write the review. There were things I loved, and then there were things that were so incredibly frustrating.

Most frustrating is the end. I know it's a series, but OMG....I HAVE to read the next book. I actually read the preview at the end of this book, and I never do that.

The book is pretty long at just over 350 pages, and yet manages to raise a bunch of questions and nothing for answers. Frustrating! The plot kept me turning page after page, wanting, no needing, to know what's going to happen. Lots happens, but questions aren't answered. And even though lots happens, there are a lot of repeat conversations (can Jakob please make up his mind if Bianca's a gold digger or not and stop asking?)

There were so many strange parts in the book, like the world's worst best friend, and yet I still kept turning page after page in record time.

Final verdict: frustrating, but I read the whole thing and now HAVE to read the next part. So I guess that means I have more of a love than hate relationship with this series.

Warning: Only read it if you are prepared to read the next one too.
