3.5⭐️

This is one hell of a dark romance novel and I never wanna read those again. Lol

A bit of sex scattered throughout the book and very intense. Enzo is a shark—literally and figuratively—I am scared to be around someone like him. Even if he saved Sawyer in the end—suspense was good and what happened at the lighthouse was crazy but will not read this again.

Loved it!

First I will say I love this author. I love the mix between horror and romance and as many other crazy things that can possibly be thrown in. Second, please write faster, I want more books! For this story the premise was new, at least for me. Two broken people ultimately stuck on an island with a crazy old man and "ghosts". Although I did figure it out very early, even what was ultimately done to hide Sawyer in the end, there were enough other twists to keep it interesting. Definitely five stars from me.
