I love the characters. I love the dialogue. The spicy scenes are hot as hell and the mystery/thriller-ish aspects certainly delivered (and I’m not one to really enjoy those mystery subplots all too much).

Spoiler

The first shark scene was just lovely and I very much enjoyed seeing the growth of both of our main characters. I especially appreciated the written and clearly expressed acknowledgment of shorty behavior and genuine apologies to allow for Sawyer and Enzo to start up anew with a fresh start and work towards a healthy relationship now built upon a toxic foundation.

I 100% would recommend this book. If you like this genre and are debating reading this book do yourself the favor and READ IT (though please keep yourself safe and look over the trigger warnings first).

I found this book very hard to finish.  Even downloaded it in audible to help me finish it.  I didn’t care for the characters.  The mystery part of the book is what kept me interested enough to just finish it.  So glad it’s over!

Almost unexplainably 5 stars. Two despicable people trapped in a strange and mysterious circumstance, pushing each other to their limits and becoming unbearably intertwined along the way.
