The idea behind this book was interesting to me.
First off, I didn't like either of the characters. Sawyer has a really fucked up past and is dealing with all sorts of PTSD from it. Enzo is a psychopath shark expert. There was nothing redeeming about him.
Second, both characters felt flat and there was a lack of chemistry between them. It was all about who could hurt the other more. Together they are completely chaotic and explosive (not in a good way). There was no real character development in this book. Neither were likable, nor were they really redeemed by the end.
I feel like this would have worked better as a regular thriller without the dark romance edge to it. Parts of this book just dragged so much, and they were always the dark romance parts.
Tropes' forced proximity, enemies to lovers, morally grey, one bed

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?

Literally only giving it 2 stars because of the mystery/thriller aspect.
