10.4.2025 - How Bad Things Can Get

How Bad Things Can Get by Darcy Coates 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for gifting me a digital ARC of this thriller by Darcy Coates.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!

Welcome to mysterious Prosperity Island, where an influencer and his fans have assembled for a five-day dream party full of games with big money prizes.  However, the island has a past - it was once home to a mysterious cult with only one survivor.  One of the party attendees, Ruth, has a secret connection to the cult and things soon go terribly awry.  

A creepy island, cult, influencers, and disappearing people - what's not to love?  Coates is a master of building suspense until you just can't look away.  It very much had that locked room feel, with the island keeping everyone trapped.  Plus, the do anything for likes influencer theme pushed things to the next level.  This is creepy season - the perfect time to dive into this read!
