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 Thoughts <3
This book blurb drew me in like a moth to flame, combining a summer camp with a dark romance-yes, please! I knew I was going to enjoy it due to loving camp slashers and dark romance novels, but it COMPLETELY blew me away! I freaking loved all of the characters and the story truly had me guessing throughout the entire thing, I wanted to know more about EVERYONE.
Though I do have to say that while Summer and Kayde are amazing, Melody stole the show for me SO many times. Not only did it have a great storyline in which I was hooked from the very beginning but the steam was SO GOOD. This book was hot, hot, hot and definitely filled my little black heart while reading it. If you are a fan of serial killers, like your books on the darker side with tons of steam, and want to read a really good book- read this now!
