About this listen

Welcome to paradise. We hope you survive your stay.

There are three rules to follow during a vacation at the famous Koh Sang resort.

1. Leave the past behind. When Cass sets foot on the coast of Thailand’s world-famous party island, she’s searching for an escape. With dark secrets following her every move, Koh Sang becomes the perfect place to hide.

2. Always be careful who you trust. Now, years later, Cass is a local dive instructor alongside the Permanents, a group of expats who have claimed the island as their own. The Permanents don’t linger on who they were before the island. Simply because, like Cass, they all have something to outrun.

3. If someone discovers who you really are, run. But suddenly, a dive student is found dead and paradise comes crashing down. Because this isn’t the first mysterious death on the island, and it won’t be the last. Someone knows who Cass is, and they’re ready to make sure justice is finally served.

I'd like to acknowledge the producers of this audiobook for scouting and employing four of the most bland performers I've ever heard in a single audiobook. I want to send them all to a public library children's reading section to listen in on story time. If you want to engage an audience, that's how it's done. A bit of inflection and a lot of enthusiasm go a long way. Because of this flaw, I have not been able to do a complete read-through of the audiobook. If anyone wants to read it, I suggest getting the ebook instead. If there is a story in there, at least you'll be able to locate it.

While I did enjoy this quick read, I figured out the whodunit before it was revealed. Everyone has secrets they run from, while others want to reveal them to the world, which was the underlying theme within the pages of this novel. While creating an ideal vacation space for a moment of escape from reality and some much needed rest and relaxation, the characters quickly become annoying at times. Cass and Brooke were interesting to get to know, but also seemed overly dependent on their need for each other and those they were with. I had figured out the twists before they were revealed, even with the slight of hand misdirections.
