Riassunto

A brand new, hilarious romance from New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

The dead of winter.
An isolated island off the coast of Maine.
A man.
A woman.
A sinister house looming over the sea . . .

He s a reclusive writer whose macabre imagination creates chilling horror novels. She s a down-on-her-luck actress reduced to staging kids puppet shows. He knows a dozen ways to kill with his bare hands. She knows a dozen ways to kill with laughs.

But she s not laughing now. When she was a teenager, he terrified her. Now they re trapped together on a snowy island off the coast of Maine. Is he the villain she remembers or has he changed? Her head says no. Her heart says yes.

It s going to be a long, hot winter.

Recensione:

“Details of smalltown New England life round out this powerfully successful homage.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Heart-wrenching and uplifting, with witty dialogue, emotional depth, and details that give substance and texture to an already entertaining, engrossing story.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))

“In a stunning change of pace, Phillips reveals a brilliant flair for the gothic as she channels the Brontës, Daphne du Maurier, Victoria Holt, and Phyllis Whitney [...] An unforgettable, deliciously spicy romance that readers won’t want to put down.” (Library Journal (starred review))
