About this ebook

★★★ "CINDERELLA MEETS TWILIGHT" - BOOK REVIEW ★★★

After her mother’s death, Taylor Hale goes to live with her father on the remote island of Dawnhaven. She’s dreading it, but she has a plan: she'll keep her head down, survive senior year, and ignore that her wicked stepmother treats her like trash. 

Then she meets wealthy summer resident James Champlain, and everything changes. 

James is tall and strapping, with a square jaw. In addition to his looks, he’s charming, funny, and kind. Taylor is increasingly drawn to him, but they're from two different worlds. She was on food stamps, he lives off a trust fund. Then there are the rumors: the locals say he’s running some sort of cult at his estate. 

Taylor doesn't believe it, but James is definitely mysterious--as is Dawnhaven itself. There’s something dark in the island woods, something dangerous. When Taylor encounters it, she learns that not only is James not what he appears...nothing is. 

★★★This is the first book of a new series, perfect for fans of TWILIGHT and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. Best for older teens: contains adult language and themes, and there are some scary parts.★★★ 

Ratings and reviews

Just ran across author Leigh Walker's name and thought the book cover was cool. Come to find out, she's got an interesting story line, and I liked the opening. Sometimes its hard to get me to read beyond that. Nicely done. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Absolutely love this book. I couldn't put it down. Each word made me feel as if i was in the story with them on the island and in the Tower. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more books by Leigh Walker and seeing what the future has in store for these characters.

It's kinda boring in between.I just stop reading it in the middle. It is not that great. I want it to be more horror or thriller type not to be romantic.
