Hmm not sure. It’s better than Haunting and Hunting Adeline. Those were a little quanon for me. This story was better but had some unbelievable plot holes. Spoiler- they just didn’t question there was ghosts making noise at night?!? 3rd HD Carlton book for me but I don’t think I’ll read anymore

I went into this book not knowing anything about it. I knew the author, so I knew I was in for it. The story is a dark romantic thriller. Enzo, one of the MCs, an intense Italian man with a big….. You know.. Immediately had my heart. The story is intense, suspenseful, heartbreaking, romantic and emotional. Follow Sawyer and Enzo's story to survival. Despite all odds, it’s them against the ocean.

Excerpt: "Enzo doesn't kiss, he devours"

I read this after the cat & mouse duet. I thought I was hooked then, but after reading this I knew I had officially found my favorite author. I am a huge shark fanatic and this book just does it for me all the way!

I mean, if you care about consent then this book is problematic. It's not kink when there isn't consent.

I hate to pick apart books but that's a big distinction.

I thought this was pretty good overall. I like that there is some mystery, action, spice and another language (Italian). I thought there would be more spice throughout the book. while there were several scenes, only 2-3 were actually spicy (in my opinion). I would recommend this.

Could not fall into the story the way I did with the author's other books, the characters didn't feel real and like something I could really attach to. I couldn't quite follow the story line. And because I didn't immediately love it, I stopped reading.
