I was somewhat disappointed in this book. It seemed to be missing half the story. And I think could have used another 200 pages to flesh out the story and characters. The villains were easy to hate, but there were no really likable characters that you want to live through this nightmare. So much more could have been done with the animals on the island as well. The ending was lacking, almost like the author wanted to finish the story and tacked on something he thought would bring closure. That's why I only gave it two stars.

BOOK REVIEW
‘Island Daze’ The Complete Series by Nicholas Erik is a well written, action packed thriller. The action pulled me in and held me enthralled until the finish.
The book starts with a group of co-workers traveling and partying on their boss’s yacht. They travel through a strong storm to get to their boss’s island, known as, ‘The Hideaway’, and the storm causes the yacht to make a crash landing. Several parts are needed to make the yacht sea worthy again.
When the boss’s right-hand man tries to call for the needed parts to be shipped to them, he cannot get an answer. Then they find out that the world they left behind is in the siege of a pandemic.
With all the secrecy and panic, dead bodies start showing up. The co-workers start splitting up into teams, at first working as one unit, which very quickly turns into an ‘each man on his on’ deal.
The characters are strong and the plot is thick with many twists and turns. The read was a thrill until the end.
I loved this book and highly recommend it to all post-apocalyptic pulp thriller lovers.
