To be honest, my early impressions of the story was that it was going to be another cheesy, half-baked, Hallmark romance. A woman goes to a place she doesn’t really want to go and falls in love. Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with stories like that. In fact, they are a guilty pleasure of mine.
Then things turned dark, really dark. As the mystery began to unravel, It was clear that nothing was as it appeared. Julian is not what he appears to be. There is more to the story than he has told. She was right to want to leave. The end of this chapter shows the beginning of the “romance.” I wish I could root for Ava. I wish this was the romance we all wanted to happen. I just hope she survives the experience. Please don’t hurt her too bad.
