Synopsis

The beach read you have been dying for! When ten of America's hottest teenage influencers are invited to an exclusive island resort, things are sure to get wild. But murder isn't what anyone expected. Will anyone survive?

Everyone knows Unknown Island—it’s the world’s most exclusive destination. Think white sand beaches, turquoise seas, and luxury accommodations. Plus, it’s invite only, no one over twenty-one allowed, and it’s absolutely free. Who wouldn’t want to go?
 
The mysterious resort launched with a viral marketing campaign, and now the whole world is watching as the mysterious resort opens its doors to the First Ten, the ten elite influencers specifically chosen to be the first to experience everything Unknown Island has to offer. You know them. There’s the gamer, the beauty blogger, the rich girl, the superstar, the junior politician, the environmentalist, the DJ, the CEO, the chef, and the athlete.
 
What they don’t know is that they weren’t invited to Unknown Island for their following—they were invited for their secrets. Everyone is hiding a deadly one, and it looks like someone’s decided it’s payback time. Unknown Island isn’t a vacation, it’s a trap. And it’s beginning to look like the First Ten—no matter how influential—are never coming home.

Goodreads review by Melissa (Semi-hiatus for Work) on December 05, 2022

3.5 stars This is an interesting YA take on And Then There Were None. Unknown Island has positioned itself to be the next big thing. A splashy resort in a remote location, completely free--but accessible by invitation only to select people under the age of 21. No one knows who is behind the resort, b......more

Goodreads review by Chelsea on December 01, 2022

"The future of humanity meets the future of travel." I was not expecting to get so swept up in this one! As a huge fan of Agatha Christie, this is a worthy modern reimagining of And Then There Were None and Selected Plays with a modern, Gen Z twist to it. It's rare that a mystery can keep me changing......more

Goodreads review by Mara on May 17, 2022

4.5 stars - This is one of the best AND THEN THERE WERE NONE retellings I've encountered, and I loved the incorporation of the influencer element as the basis for the themes and the murderousness. This was squarely aimed at me and what I love in mystery thriller - loved it!......more

Goodreads review by STEPH on August 11, 2023

I didn't like this. Very underwhelming. At first, I got curious with the idea of 10 famous influencers trapped in an island with no way out. As we're living in a world where social media is a very powerful tool, this was kind of catchy for me until it turned into something I would've ignored had I k......more
