Enzo and Sawyer are two very messed up people, but somehow it works.  I liked this book better than the Adeline books, though it is just as messed up.  This one also adds in a pretty spooky lighthouse and island, which I found I enjoyed as much as the main story with our couple.

I was not expecting this book to be what it was. The thriller side of this book was amazing! There was some foreshadowing with the direction of the book but you still never expected the twist. And as toxic as Sawyer and Enzo were I really loved how their relationship turned out. They are so fiercely protective of one another and by the end you could see how much they cared for one another.

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.
