“A captivating, beautifully-written novel about what happens when the power of guilt and grief slams into a deadly game of survival. I loved everything about ISLAND ENDGAME—the setting, the heart-pounding twists, the three main characters. Each one is, in a different way, as isolated as the island that brings them together, but when danger ramps up they prove they are resourceful, compassionate, and determined to keep each other safe. A five-star read all the way!”
—Barbara Claypole White, bestselling author of The Perfect Son

“ISLAND ENDGAME is a page-turning suspense novel set on a remote island in the Puget Sound, that will grip readers from the get-go. Hodge excels in setting the scene with vivid yet haunting descriptions of the island landscape. Kenzie, a nurse, arrives on Salish Island with a painful secret, hoping a few months at summer camp tending to kids’ scraped knees will give her time to heal and get her life back on track. But her camp co-workers have other plans and nothing and no one are what they seem. Soon, danger is racing toward the island at jet speed, and this story goes from idyllic to menacing, taking readers along for an expertly crafted thrill ride. This riveting novel is chock full of characters readers will root for from the edge of their seats until the nail-biting end! Brava, Rebecca Hodge!”

“Truly an excellently written tale that works superbly on many different levels. Very much recommended.”
—Five-star NetGalley review by Jeff S.
​
“It's hard to include emotional development and growth for characters in a nonstop action book such as this, but Hodge does a wonderful job of doing just that. I rooted for Kenzie, Jon and sweet Chris to the very end. Well done and highly recommended 4.5 stars.”

“I couldn't read fast enough! My coffee went cold. My dinner burned. I may have ignored several important phone calls. This book turned me into one of those people who walks into furniture while reading because I literally could not put it down.”
—Five Star Goodreads review by Chris
​
“What elevates the novel beyond standard thriller conventions is its emotional core. Kenzie's battle is both with the men who hold her captive and the crushing conviction that she cannot protect those who rely on her. Their threat mirrors her deeper conflict: recover her ability to trust herself or repeat the heartbreak of failure. A razor-sharp thriller that grips from the opening page and doesn’t let go.”
—Five Star Goodreads review by Neena
​
“Hodge blends suspense, mystery, and shocking violence with a deeply emotional examination of grief and resilience. The novel asks what happens when the very circumstances we run from return in even more harrowing form—and how far we can go when forced to outthink danger. Salish Island may be unassuming and quiet, but in these pages it delivers a story of immense impact. With its mix of pulse-pounding suspense and emotional depth, the novel makes for an un-put-downable read.”
