Sole Survivor by Zachary Ashford
Back Cover:
An uninhabited island… Several hundred hidden cameras… Ten contestants who think they’re stranded… One man employed to thin their numbers…
One predatory species determined to feed…
For the contestants of television’s latest prime-time reality show, the plane crash is a mere inconvenience on their way to fame and fortune. Unfortunately, there’s no rescue coming. Instead, the producers have other ideas, like watching them find the island’s killer creatures for themselves…
Like watching them die.
5 STAR Review
This book sinks its teeth into you and doesn’t let go! Like ever book in the Rewind or Die series I’ve read so far, it’s an action-laced, gore soaked, love song to camp 80s/90s horror. Sole Survivor revolves around a deadly game show where contestants are crashed onto an island and must fend off blood thirsty koala bears. Each character gets their fifteen minutes of fame as they face the island’s terror, but it’s more than just rabid large teeth marsupials threatening the contestants.
This is the extra sauce to the already blood drenched plot that makes Sole Survivor stand out. Not only do the contestants run from monsters, they are running from each other and the monsters lurking within the darkness of their minds (one specific character’s mind, but I won’t say who). I read it in one sitting and didn’t breath until the final sentence.
I wanted more! The last scene made me want so much beyond that final conclusion. Will there be a sequel? I certainly hope so! This is a perfect escapism read and one that will give you all the thrills of a fun 90s horror flick.
