In the Louisiana swamplands, ghost stories are as much a part of childhood as chasing fireflies and crawfishing. They never much scared me, though, nor the possibility of evil out to do me harm. Until the night I watched shadows come to life and butcher everything I loved. With a stranger's help, I managed to escape to an isolated place miles north, and, in time, became my own ghost story. A cautionary tale for the locals. Nearly a decade passed, before I returned to my birthplace, in hopes of unearthing long-awaited answers. Instead, I found something I wasn't looking for. Someone. A remedy for my loneliness.Or so I thought. Turns out, Thierry Bergeron is no elixir. He's a deadly poison, cursed by the demons of his past, and feared by those who call him the elusive Rougarou of the bayou. A devious rogue, whose seductive whispers and rough hands haunt my dreams. The big bad wolf that defiles me without apology, or remorse. I should resist him, but I can't. And when the shadows return to stake their claim on me, his darkness is the only safe place to hide. The Isle of Sin and Shadows is a modern southern gothic contemporary standalone romance, set on a darkly enchanting fictional island.

First off Keri Lake is an amazing dark romance writer she balances the two sides of romance, dark topics, mystery, and suspense so fucking well. 80% of this 4 to 5 stars but I just found the ending discovering the mystery to be completely unsatisfying and at some parts even downright random. Like more of yeah I'm shocked by some events but not because it really made sense.

Wow! Right when I think Keri Lake can’t get any better she shocks us with this story. I absolutely loved this! The writing was so intricate and detailed I felt like I was right there with Celeste and Thierry. Thierry reminded me so much of Tobias from the Ravenhood series by Kate Stewart which I LOVE! everything about this story was so great. From the mystery/thriller to the consuming romance it was unputdownable. I’ve barely slept since starting 😂 if you want something that will surprise you with every turn and twist along with a romance that’s hot, pick this up!
