About this listen

Three newlywed couples arrive on Bali’s Honeymoon Island, expecting two weeks of bliss. It’s a five-star luxury all-inclusive experience. White beaches, endless cocktails, and Instagram-perfect moments await. But beneath the tropical paradise, dark secrets threaten to ruin everything.

Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali.

Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret.

Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe.

Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on. And as bodies are discovered on days 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11, paradise turns into a nightmare.

Will anyone make it off the island unscathed—or alive? Welcome to Honeymoon Island, where secrets come to die.

This addictive psychological thriller full of twists is perfect for fans of The White Lotus, Lucy Foley, Liane Moriarty, Lucy Clarke, Sarah Goodwin and T.M. Logan.

Captivated my interest

I am mostly into books that captivate my interest and keep me listening. This book definitely did that. Sure there were probably too many coincidences to be believed but either way it kept my interest and I enjoyed it.

Poor end

Pale end of a very convoluted tail, often left me high in the air and a little confused

There was a few surprises that you didn't see coming.
At the end it's like" damn".

A tangled web of lies and coincidences!

What a fabulous piece of writing! This plot is like the peeling of an onion, with each chapter revealing a new layer of deception and plot twist. The ensuing web of connections between the honeymooners keeps wanting to read more. The narrative done with multiple storytellers adds to the drama. And the ending… did not see that coming! Well done!!

Jane E. James just rocks...

I adore this author (The Grandmother was a recent absolute fave) and I did like this title too. The narration was wonderful. It's set in beautiful Bali and centered around three different honeymooning couples. All their personalities are very different from each other's. As secrets are revealed about the couples, you find they are all bound together by shameful things in their past.

The below is a spoiler; do not continue reading if you have not read the book yet:



My one bone of contention with this one: I was waiting at the end to learn how/why these couples who all shared a past, ended up at the island together. This was never explained and indeed you're left to assume this is a coincidence. I get how two honeymooning couples with shared secrets MIGHT end up on the same island together in a very huge twist of fate, but three couples?? So that was a little disappointing... I kept waiting till the end to learn how they all happened to be there together.

I did like the twist at the end regarding the phone call Samantha got regarding her biological son!

Binge Worthy & Very Entertaining

I thought quite a bit about how to rate the book . On the surface, the relationships and connections between the main characters are highly implausible. But each couple has their own unique story and relationship issues which intensify as their resort friendship evolve. The multilayered plot continuously drew me in with building tension. The narrators were perfect. I’m glad that I stumbled across this free audible read. I will follow the author. As an aside, if you like white Lotus, you will love this book. I believe it is better than the current season three.
