Island of Lost Girls is the second novel by Jennifer McMahon, her first being, Promise Not to Tell. I really enjoyed Promise Not to Tell, and her new book was no disappointment. In fact I'm not sure it wasn't better.

Her books are a little dark, murder, abuse etc... but the story she weaves is wonderful. Her characters are all flawed, but aren't we all, making it easy for you to connect with them even if you have not experienced the horrors they have.

But the really great thing is that she does not drag you so deep into despair that you feel depressed when reading. I concentrate on solving the mysteries.

While this book was a bit more predictable than her first it is still great and I can't wait until she writes another one.
