The Light Beneath
Viridis Island: an island cursed with endless rain by an ominous sailor in 1947. An island where secrets run so deep that it seems impossible for them to ever be fully unburied. An island where time itself can't be trusted.
Duncan Ray has just moved to Viridis Island, a mysterious town that is the subject of many strange rumors. Its residents believe that it is cursed, and the rain that never stops pouring over the island seems to be proof enough. While Duncan is eager to be involved in a mystery like in the books he loves, he quickly learns that this small island town might harbor some even more sinister secrets, and some of the residents are desperate to keep him from uncovering them.
Meanwhile, Rowan Hasson deals with the loss of her family after a mysterious fire burns down their home. She is haunted by the idea that the island's curse might have played a part. Now she must learn the secrets of Viridis Island while trying to decide if the island is even truly cursed or not.

This was so compelling and so well written! The mystery was constantly keeping me on edge just wondering what was going to happen. And although not every mystery is wrapped up, I'm excited to see how they develop in the book 2! I enjoyed the characters a lot, and I appreciated how they all contributed something important to the story. They had their own personalities and backgrounds that made them memorable.
My only small problem is I had trouble understanding why the characters wanted to solve this mystery so badly if there were so many consequences for doing so. I would be too scared to continue unraveling it if there was someone trying to kill me for digging into it! So their motivations were confusing at times.
Overall, I very much enjoyed this. I would recommend to check it out! Big thanks to the author for sending me a copy.💖
