Ben Gregory, his live-in boyfriend, Joshua Finley, and their friend, Joey Brandt, are taking a weekend trip to Ben’s parents’ cabin on Burkett Isle. Josh is concerned about them spending time with his former boyfriend Joey. However, Ben seems to think it will be fine and it is, until Josh discovers a site of horror a small distance from the cabin.
Burkett Isle is a dark and intriguing tale. The focus of the plot is the sadistic dimension of a killer’s psyche. The story is a fascinating example of how true personalities can be hidden behind a façade to match what is considered standard behavior by the majority. It also creates the question of how well do we truly know another person? The setting is a privately owned secluded island. The characters are believable. Because of issues in his past, Ben has problems exhibiting commitment, although he shows jealousy at the least provocation. Josh is in love with Ben and afraid of losing him. Joey regrets breaking up with Josh but accepts Ben because the three men have been friends since childhood. After the horrible discovery, each man becomes suspicious of each other and even more afraid the killer or killers is out there waiting. Mychael Black and Shayne Carmichael deliver an amazing thriller that I greatly enjoyed.
