ulie Marin has it all: supportive parents, incredible talent, and the almost-realized dream of becoming a professional dancer. When she's attacked leaving practice one night, her seeming perfection comes crashing down.

Without notice, her parents pack up the house and move Julie and her brother to a remote island. As she realizes her dreams may not come true after all, Julie starts to expect that everyone around her is hiding a secret. Meanwhile, she finds herself drawn to the disturbingly alluring Lucas and the arrogant but handsome Rory. With her thoughts clouded by love and a strange island phenomenon, Julie learns that if she's going to have any chance at the life she wants, she'll need to solve the mystery before it's too late.

I loved how the author started to build up the romance with Rory and how Julie has learnt to manage the amnesia thingy. <== These were my favourite parts.

I am a mother, a writer, and an avid reader. I write under a pen name due to another professional career. Everyone has a secret in their life, mine is writing.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal)

Okay, so I loved the title of the book and the main plot - those are the things I mainly watch out for before choosing a book to read. The plot of this book seemed good to me as well as the cover of the book was amazing so I went ahead to read it.

I was disappointed because it was not as good as I thought it would be. The story in the beginning was stretched way more than it was needed. The pace of the story was slow and it made the reader lose interest. However, the last few pages really recaptured my attention and I wanted to know what was happening. The ending left me heartbroken and really sad though, I hate love triangles because one always gets hurt and I can't bear that in my book, it's so heart breaking :'(.
