A great story that had me hooked and had me wishing I could have seen a little more of the main pairing's happy life afterwards before the story wrapped up. If you've read or heard of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None", then honestly the plot really is nothing new to you. Twelve supposed strangers with hidden intentions and secret connections with each other are gathered onto an island together to play a dangerous game of Werewolves; except this time the innocent FDC gets thrown into the mix. Cue tension as people must try to survive whilst carrying out their own secret agendas. I've seen this get labeled as horror, but it's actually a thriller because you know that any mu*ders or deaths was done by someone in the group, just not who.The thing is FDC is a bit easy to like or dislike in my opinion because it hinges on whether or not you realize LS is actually the protagonist, meaning LS is what actually moves the plot but the story is told through FDC's eyes. He's genuinely just a passerby who got dragged in by accident and whilst not actually dumb, he's definitely a good, honest man that doesn't have any clue why this island game was occurring in the first place. Because of this, a lot of the plot is carried by and dependent on LS, who actually has a separate goal for being on the island other than just "survive". This story also have several moments where stuff was either done for dramatics or flair, but was left unanswered and hand-waved away afterwards.The tension is very nice though, and while it read very (VERY) similar to "And Then There Were None" it had its own plot twists that were really nice. I liked that not everyone on that island was purely back or white, which gave them depth instead of just "ah yes this dude is a bad person". Overall I had a really nice time reading this and I grew quite attached to the main pairing, but I do wish I could have read more about their daily life afterwards.
