**A free copy of this book was receieved from the author in exchange for an honest review.**I knew after reading the synopsis of this book that I had to read this. The plot seemed so cool, and I love books that take place on islands. Isola Di Squalo ended up being all that I hoped for and so much more.First off, the plot was really unique. (Admittedly, I have said that about a few books I've read recently, but I mean it wholeheartedly each time, and especially with this one!) It is a combination of Romance and Fantasy, but neither is your typical YA stuff. The Romance aspect lacked insta-love (YAY!!!), and while it was the main point of the story, it didn't overshadow the Fantasy aspect, which can be so hard to find in teen books. The Fantasy part of the plot was unlike anything I've ever read! I loved the concept. It was so well-written.The romance between Terra and Dylan was so well done. It wasn't cheesy at all. I loved that the story started out with them hating each other, instead of having them being drawn to each other right from the start. I wish that Dylan wouldn't have gotten so annoyed with Terra at times, but that is honestly my only complaint.I didn't want the book to end, but of course it did. That being said, I thought it ended perfectly, with a happy ending (for the most part).I can definitely say that I will be reading the next book in this series, especially because it's about Delphine, and the epilogue made me want to know Delphine's story. I am so glad I was able to read this book; it's definitely a 2013 favorite of mine! If you are thinking about reading Isola Di Squalo, I would HIGHLY recommend it.
