This was purely a cover buy, which I'm still loving. I wasn't expecting this to be a great book... and it wasn't. The writing is... bad. Really bad. I would describe it as inconsistent and clumsy, same applies for the characters. The plot is all over the place. But I kind of liked it? There were some mysteries and twists I was interested it. And although I liked the characters, I didn't love them. Still, I was rooting for them. Also, the setting and atmosphere are really cool. I liked the national park sceneries, the community on small islands on a lake surrounded by mountains. 
Probably wouldn't recommend it, but I don't regret buying it. It's really pretty.

I needed this book to be longer.

I zoomed through this story so fast. I find that a lot of queer stories involve a process of coming out - I loved that there was no coming out involved in this book. A great first book from Darren Charlton and I eagerly await it's sequel! (Hopefully that ones longer, I need more of these types of stories in my life).
