This is a really good story. I did have a hard time getting into it, but after a few chapters it grabbed my attention and held on until the end.Catherine Briton is a young widow traveling back home to London when a storm destroyed the boat she was on. She is the only survivor to wash up on the shore of the island that no one ever claims to see while out on the ocean. She knows she has injuries, but after the stranger who found her took her to his castle and checks her for injuries, all the pain in her body eases. She starts to notice strange things that are happening on the island, but when she asks questions she never seems to get an honest answer.Gerard is the `master' of the island. He has the most secrets out of everyone she's met, and Catherine is determined to uncover as many as possible. As she and Gerard spend time together they start to become closer, and she hopes that will cause him to open up to her. What's more unnerving is how everyone on the island seems to know quite a bit about her when she hasn't told anyone about herself. There are more and more mysteries as the days pass, and no one will explain the beast that seems to be following her whenever she is out during the day. Will Catherine ever return to London, or will she be stuck on the strange island forever?I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
