This is the final book in the Wrecked Series by Ellie Pond. All other books in this series have been reviewed and are also available on my Blogger.

We are back with our favorite castaways. Who are now no longer stranded on the island, but held prisoner on a yacht. Haley, Calvin, Dante, Easton, Zane, and Sam are still fighting for survival in a different territory, with different rules. Unsure of who they can trust or if they will all make it out. Each person uses their own skills just like they did on the island to keep themselves and each other safe until they can escape. But escaping comes with its own cost, will it be their lives?

I want to start by saying every prediction I had before about what was going on, was completely wrong, and I am a little upset with myself for doubting our men. I had a lot of highlights alluding to Dante being the saboteur, which was totally not the case. Ellie really had me going for a long time on this theory. I am very grateful I was wrong.

This book was not only full of twists and turns, but answers as well. While still being a nailbiter from beginning to end. Everything unraveled beautifully leaving no questions behind. Little things from even the first book resurfaced and makes the reader go "Oh Shit!"  

Some of the answers we get include what happened to the other raft, who sabotaged Rock Candy, and what was hidden in Mr. Rockwells code. We get special guest appearances from so many people I was also convinced sabotaged the boat at one point or another. 

With our lovely romance we get a few very long spicy chapters. Which is on par for the whole series. We've already had our love confessions in the other books, but its really cemented with actions taken during this book. 

Haley will go to ends of the earth for her men, and they'd each burn it down for her. That hasn't changed. What has is the guys love for each other. While they aren't each others boyfriends, they care deeply for each other. While that could have something to do with their individual love for Haley, I believe its the bond they formed with each other both on the island, and during their escape from the yacht. Which is a cute journey in itself. 

The ending was perfect. It wasn't too cliche, and came with its own set of problems that the characters work through together. 

Overall I give the book 5/5 stars. I loved it from beginning to end. Each twist and turn making me not want to put it down, and one of the best romance series I have read in a while. 

This is the final book in the Wrecked series. All 4 books are now available on KU.

(This is my own personal review based on my opinion on this book/series. Not everyone enjoys the same books, just because I loved/hated it doesn't mean you will love/hate it. As always, check your trigger warnings.)
