The Home Group is a glamorous collection of celebrity members' clubs dotted across the globe, where the rich and famous can party hard and then crash out in its five-star suites, far from the prying eyes of fans and the media.
The most spectacular of all is Island Home—a closely-guarded, ultraluxurious resort, just off the English coast—and its three-day launch party is easily the most coveted A-list invite of the decade.
But behind the scenes, tensions are at breaking point: the ambitious and expensive project has pushed the Home Group's CEO and his long-suffering team to their absolute limits. All of them have something to hide—and that's before the beautiful people with their own ugly secrets even set foot on the island.
As tempers fray and behavior worsens, as things get more sinister by the hour and the body count piles up, some of Island Home’s members will begin to wish they’d never made the guest list.
Because at this club, if your name’s on the list, you’re not getting out.
I have really mixed feelings about The Club. The story is told through many perspectives as well as the use of social media to interview people who were there that night. It's kind of a closed room mystery where you don't know who was killed and who did the deed. You don't know who to trust or believe.
The first half of the book is very slow and I almost DNF'd it. None of the characters were likable and I had a hard time feeling sympathy for any of them. There were way too many perspectives and I had a hard time keep everyone straight. The second half of the book was infinitely better. It was full of twists and surprises that just kept coming. I did find the ending satisfying. It's nice when everyone gets their justice. I would recommend this one. Just keep in mind it is a slow burn, but the pay-off is worth it.
