I wasn’t expecting this book to be so good. The plot was actually super enthralling. It did get a bit repetitive during the lighthouse scenes with the hot and cold attitudes the characters had towards each other. But I understood the reasoning behind the choices of the protagonists. The book was dark and mysterious and a bit haunting at times, and the spice level was 4/5. Enzo was a complete ass for half of the book, but the end of the novel redeemed him. And Sawyer was easily manipulated and childish.
