Silverskin - Caitee Cooper

Résumé :
I was so invested in this story that I went to bed dreaming about the characters. Really, this book had pretty much everything that I love! - The Book Dragon Blog An abandoned town. A legendary monster. And a hidden evil, biding its time ... Ellie Forth and Oliver Cole have something in common: they're both haunted by the ghosts of their pasts. Ever since the accidental deaths of her mother and sister, Ellie has battled fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of life's challenges, and worst of all, fear that she'll lose everyone else she loves. But when a once-in-a-lifetime Alaskan adventure with her remaining family members lands in her lap, she cautiously agrees to go, hoping the challenge will rekindle the courage that she feels she's lost. Oliver Cole's goal, on the other hand, is simple: outwork, outrun, or out-busy the shame that still plagues him from his time as a gang member in Anchorage's dark underbelly. The days he spends on his boss's commercial fishing boat are almost long and brutal enough to make him forget ... until Ellie and her surviving family members arrive at his uncle's cabin. The time Oliver spends with the Forths before his wilderness-guide uncle whisks them away to the backcountry is a sharp, painful reminder of everything he's not sure he'll ever be good enough to have. But nothing in the backcountry goes as planned. After Ellie survives a horrific supernatural encounter deep in the Kenai Peninsula, she must team up with Oliver to discover the truth about what happened - and about the creatures she accidentally unleashed on the world. With one terrifying realization after another, Ellie's desire for revenge grows, while Oliver grapples with both his own demons and his growing feelings for her. And the monsters? They want them broken. And then they want them dead. Supernatural meets KPop Demon Hunters in this gripping first book in The Portlock Trilogy! Perfect for readers who love character-driven suspense, spooky mystery, ethereal settings, unique monsters, low-spice romance, and found family themes. *No part of this book was written or designed by AI. From cover to cover, it is entirely human-created....
