After losing his mom, Finn and his best friend Turtle left North Carolina on an adventure heading to a small coastal town in California called ‘Stars Cove’ to surf 🏄 the notorious Leviathans. Finn buys a little shack outside of Star Cove that comes with its own private beach, but one day, some random guy decides to surf on Finn’s property without permission. And baby! Finn wasn’t having any of that and went to confront him. But he was totally caught off guard when the guy turned around, revealing ocean blue eyes that pierced right through him.
Riddick has lived and Surfed in Star Cove for many years, and when this new guy came charging down the beach that belonged to his late friend but is now owned by Finn, he wasn’t happy about it. But while Finn was trying to assert his dominance over the beach territory, he mentioned that he would be surfing the Leviathans. This didn’t sit well with Riddick since the Leviathans has the most dangerous waves, which have already claimed the life of someone dear to him—Jake. So, what does Riddick do next? He decides to train Finn to ensure he doesn’t end up like the last person who surfed those unforgiving waters.
This story was very heartwarming and surprisingly a bit mysterious. The chemistry between Finn and Riddick was electric from the get-go, and I started to feel a sense of dread with Riddick as he wasn’t being completely honest with Finn about something. And Finn! My sweet baby Finn has lost everyone he’s loved in his life except for his bestie Turtle, and he feels like everyone will eventually leave him behind and alone. 💔
This book does have a happy ending, but it’s not your typical one. What do I mean by that? Well, you’ll just have to read it for yourself 😌
Thanks you so much for sending me this ARC for an honest review!
