Summary:
Eric, a journalist, comes to Blessed Island for the mystery; the island where it's rumoured people live forever and no children are born. And when he meets a local named Merle, he has a distinct feeling he knows her from before... and when events escalate on the island, he realizes it's more than just a déjà vu.


Review:
I don't think I've ever read a book so fast. I was completely entranced by this story. It is intriguing from page one, and I absolutely loved it.

This story is mysterious, a little spooky and exciting, and a lot of the time I was a little confused, but in a good way. This book has all these threads that eventually tie together, and you slowly start to realize what is going on. I really enjoyed the characters, though it's hard to get into without spoiling anything.

The writing is absolutely beautiful, and I am definitely checking out more books from this author.

The only thing I think is strange is that this is classified as young adult, and I think this would be much better suited for adult readers.

I would highly recommend this to people who like mysterious, paranormal, beautifully written book with an epic love story in it.
