The Last Resort by Susi Holliday - 3 Stars

 Amelia is quite surprised when she gets a mysterious invitation to a private island getaway. Her, along with 6 other strangers are told that they have been invited to the island to test some up and coming technology, but they soon find out that this is not true.
Amelia is looking forward to the lavish party they have been promised at the end of the day, but soon finds out that each person has a dark secret that they are keeping and this is being used against them on the island. They are forced to wear a memory tracking device and soon learn that there is no where to hide. Soon the group starts to fight and they split up and Amelia has to figure out how to survive the rest of the day.

This was a strange book. It was sort of an Agatha Christie story mixed with modern technology and a dystopian feel. It started out ok, but the ending fell really short for me. Up until the last few chapters I was pretty intrigued on what the ending was going to reveal, but at the end I just thought it fell flat.
