This was... a Rollercoaster of a book wow. I thought I knew what it was about but I was lying to myself. I saw nothing coming. The lighthouse. Sylvester, the level of creepiness. I read this at night and I was creeped tf out 😂 was mad. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. 
Enzo was very hot cold in the beginning. I loved the friendships Simon and Troy it was so genuine I like friendships like that. 
Check your trigger warnings lol.

Its a kinda dark romance/thriller. Really enjoyed the plot, it hat a few good twisted. The FMC was at times really funny. The MMC has mommy issues. 
I did not like the ghost aspect of this story, as if the two MCs believed that the lighthouse is haunted... I also did not find the keepers backstory believable, it felt like there were continuen error. Did he have the wife befor he got to the island or after?

This book definitely isn't for everyone. It's a very dark romance with quite a bit of dubcon and gore. But if you can stomach that, it's got a great mystery thriller aspect that hooked me.

Definitely lots of triggers (which it makes in the beginning) and I had a hard time with some of them because I had been through similar or the same, but overall the book was so good and I loved how H.D. Carlton represented those things so well
