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?

"This book was a perfect read for the month of October. Dark romance with a bit of a twist and some creepy events. A great spooky book with a bit of spice. I really enjoyed this book 👍🏻"

"Dual POV and available on KU. I have a lot of feelings about this book. I heard so many good things and was excited to read it. Maybe I had my expectations set to high but I have never been more disappointed by a recommended book. I almost stopped reading it several times. I couldn't get passed the events in the first boat scene and have no idea how a relationship evolved from that. It just felt like it didn't really matter and the feelings between Sawyer and Enzo just came out of no where. Also, Enzo had no character development his personality made no sense. The fact that the ghost part is taken at face value enraged me. I also got annoyed translating all of the Italian phrases as all of the translations were in the back and I was reading on a Kindle. Honestly I hate read the entire time. I am not very picky when it comes to books but this one did not do it for me. Give the spice a 3-3.5/5 🌶️ -some of the spice was good. "

"What the **** was this book. It started off great. Loved sawyer and Enzo. Then **** got weird. I think it could have been a great dark romance or a great suspense, but it couldn’t be both. "

"I am a little ashamed that I read this book, and how much I couldn’t stop. Every time I stopped reading I was thinking of when I could read it again. It’s somewhere between 3-4 stars but I can’t really think of a percentage. I would recommend if you like darker romances. Please make sure you are aware of ALL the warnings. "

"The storyline was good and keep me intrigued. After reading Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline, I think I was expecting more but it was still a good book. 3.5/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
