Book Review: Dead of Summer

 


Camp Friends Are Forever Friends


Or so the motto of Camp Crestview says.

Having been a camp counselor for the last three summers, I can handle most situations that come my way courtesy of rowdy children. This year shouldn’t be any different, even with a new counselor who’s everyone’s type and too good to be true. But even so, Kayde Lane is nothing I can’t deal with.

Until I stumble upon him at night with an ax and sinister intentions towards the campers we're meant to protect

Unable to let him kill anyone, I strike a dangerous bargain with Kayde, only to realize the true extent of his darkness. With every demand he makes, pushing me to the brink of my moral boundaries, I'm torn between survival and the haunting allure of his control.

As the nights pass and Kayde's demands escalate, I find myself teetering on the edge of sanity, questioning my own desires and the twisted games he plays with my mind.

Seven nights are all I need to survive with Kayde, and if I can do that, everyone lives.

If I can believe the words of a serial killer obsessed with breaking me, that is.

Dead of Summer is a 110k+ word dark romance M/F standalone. It features a possessive, over the top hero and themes that not all readers may appreciate, and may be triggering to some. For a full list of TWs, please see the author's note.



My Review

Yes! This book is just what I needed/wanted. I liked the "campy" vibes I got from this book. For those who love their book boyfriends to be extra dark, this book is for you.

When Summer striked the deal with Kayde. she did not know just how deep she would find herself making the deal with the "devil".  Things went from somewhat innocent to crazy quickly. The scenes intense but so HOT!

In the beginning I went from I kind of want to hate Kayde because he makes me, I mean Summer want to give in to I am fully in. Run now and grab a copy to read.
