I kept going back and forth about I felt about this one. This is my first novel Iโve read by this author, so I wasnโt sure what I was expecting. I really enjoyed the setting. Survival, stranded, lost, etc storyline is one I always thoroughly enjoy. The plot really hooked me in and I wish at times there was less smut and more plot. (Donโt get me wrong. I love my smut.) However, I needed less of them getting nasty in a dirty room and a little more storyline.

I wasnโt really a big fan of either fan of Sawyer and Enzo. (Besides their obvious problematic behavior and personality traits)
Sawyer had some โIโm not like other girlsโ moments that was pretty obnoxious.
There was one scene, I was rolling my eyes at. They decided to hide in the cave for the night, during a storm, in shorts. They were trying to hide from Sylvester, but if he doesnโt get them, hypothermia will.
I felt like myself asking over and over again how realistic some of these characters choices were.
Enzo was bit of hothead. For someone who is so erratic at times, I expected his backstory to be a little more dramatic than just his mom leaving him. But then again, perhaps the author didnโt want Enzoโs backstory to be as traumatic so it would take away from limelight of Sawyerโs.
Their relationship was so hot and cold. I donโt mind a hate and love relationship. But it was a little off putting when they (especially Enzo) would just flip flop feelings as quickly in a couple paragraphs.
I will say, I did at least enjoy the banter between the two. They did have some fun and interesting conversations. And some playful moments.
The smut- oh boy. Some of it was alright. Some of the scenes, were not for me. The way the author would describe the actions, was a little bizarre. Like a few times, Enzo would grab her by the teeth? That just seemed so odd and very unnatural. There was a few moments that Enzo would say he could he smelled her coochie- and Iโm not talking like him being in between her legs- Iโm talking like he was stand beside her, talking to her.
The writing in general lacked depth for me. I would have like it to be a little more descriptive. There was a lot of short paragraphs. A lot of back and forth dialogue. For a dark, mysterious, setting - the narration was lacking.
I like the overall idea, but I really wish it better executed. I enjoyed the mystery and the suspense. It was just an okay read. I donโt know if I would recommend it.

It felt like a little bit of a murder mystery in some places and it was definitely a psychological thriller in the majority but the characters and ending was spectacular.
Read this if you have strong stomach and want a little bit of horror/thriller and also mystery but otherwise keep away from this book!

Yes, the plot could be outlandish at times, but what sort of thriller doesn't bend our belief system a bit?
Enzo is a stronzo (asshole), and he doesn't really become not an asshole, but if we're being honest, that's what makes us clench our thighs about some of the men in these dark romances, right?
I hated the "favorite toe" joke, but that could be because I don't particularly like toes. Other than that, I liked Sawyer. She may have seemed a little immature at times for her age (28), but that could also be attributed to what her character went through.
That fucking shark scene?! Good God, holy hell. I didn't know what to feel, and I'm uncomfortable about that...but not in the worst way, sooooo...
Anywaaaaaaay...this was another spit-in-my-mouth-pull-my-hair-tell-me-you-hate-my-guts-and-then-rearrange-my-guts-and-tell-me-you-hate-that-you-love-me type of book for me. #noshame
