Who am I?
I've forgotten the answer to that question long ago. Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I've only ever walked in stolen shoes.
Could I be a girl who is searching for the meaning of life in faceless men? They were all so forgettable. Until he came along. He took me under a waterfall and made me forget my name, and in return, I took his instead.
Enzo Vitale.
An enigmatic man that will only ever love the deep sea. Or rather the predators that inhabit it. Turns out, he's not so different than the monsters he feeds. He lured me onto his boat like a fish in the ocean, seeking vengeance for my crime. Had I realized his intentions, and that a massive storm would leave us shipwrecked, I would've ran.
Now, I'm a girl who's seeking refuge in a decrepit lighthouse with a man who loathes me almost as much as he craves me. He wants to hurt me, but the old caretaker of the abandoned island may have intentions far more sinister.
It's no longer a question of who I am, but rather, will I survive?
Reviews with the most likes.
I liked this book, it was dark, thrilling, spicy, mild horror, and adventurous. The sharks were a huge bonus.
Lots of trigger warnings. The author tells you what they are in the beginning of the book.
Sawyer and Enzo. Kind of enemy lovers to a couple in love. Forced-Proximity.
“And that's exactly why I want to hate you. I was sleepwalking until I met you, and I wasn't fucking ready to wake up.”
Sure, I was drawn to this book due Haunting Adeline series.
Yes, I listen to the audiobook of it in just a few days. But even though I found myself enjoying the first chapters I soon got frustrated with it.
The way Swayers character changes from being a badass woman to a naive girl, the problematic plot that sometimes makes no sense, as truly two clever and strong physically and not only, people will be OK of being locked up every day without any reason, believing in ghosts without suspicion... and many more.
Yes, it could be a marvelous piece of work, but unfortunately it disappointed me and I can't get over the many unsatisfied plot holes it has.
3.5 ✨
Really love the thriller story line! I honestly had no idea where it would go and it kept me reading which is a good thing because Enzo Vitale is so beyond infuriating! And he brought of the worst in Sawyer so I couldn't take her most of the time either. But all in all a great thriller and I'm looking forward to reading my next H.D. Carlton.
all i gotta say is.. the epilogue.... in the- in the cage??????
