Paradise Club

A group of vacationers have won a contest to stay a week at an island resort, free of charge. However, soon after they arrive, guests learn that they are there as part of a sick game in which serial killers are let loose on the guests to see who can survive the week. With that, readers set off on a fast-paced, gory slasher that is loads of fun to read. With short chapters, a cast of characters both sympathetic and evil, a constantly shifting point of view that heightens the already oppressive tension, and a satisfying supernatural twist right at the end, readers will be hard-pressed to find a better example of the extreme horror subgenre that’s trending this year. Just don’t expect everyone to make it through. The plot has a few holes, but readers will enjoy learning why in the must-read author’s note at the book’s end.
