Picture this…you’re sitting by the ocean, sipping your favorite cocktail. The sun is setting over your skin, and the sound of waves crashing against the sand offers the perfect background music for the mellow reggae tunes that play through the salty air. Life is good. You have a best friend who seems to be a better friend to you than he is a boyfriend to his girl, your mom is calling your phone to ask what time you’ll be home for dinner, and your current “plaything” is too busy flirting with another girl in a desperate attempt to see if you care. Pathetic. But you don’t care because the sand is between your toes, your surfboard is freshly waxed, and you are one hundred percent sure that your life is perfect. It was all perfect, right? Except Hades Hollow would never be perfect.This was a town built on old stories that were planted, grew, and eventually rotted here. It was a vicious cycle of rebirth. The stories would never die…not at least until the real one had been told. It all started with a game. The kind of trickery that poisons your heart because it knows the mind is weak. One was my nemesis, a genre-meddling musician. The foe . One was as scary as he was charming. The weapon . And one was a billionaire. The ruse . I mean, I knew that, right. I knew who they were… I was about to find out the hard way that I didn’t know anything at all. I’m Shiloh St. Claire. A daughter, a friend…and The liar . 10 Heart Review by Lorena I've just read my first 10 star read of the year!!
I don't know how Amo Jones does it but somehow she always manages to make me get lost in her words and then it takes me days to be able to get back into anything other than what I just finished reading from her. Boneyard Tides will certainly take you on one hell of a ride, I'll tell ya. Shiloh St. Claire was certainly a girl that was no fool and whatever anyone would dare her to do, if she felt like it was worth a challenge, she'll do it, but when she thought it was too dangerous that's where she drew the line and no one could change her mind. She really had the guys (Sparrow, Malyk and Dion) wrapped around her finger and boy those scenes with them certainly had me squirming. It took a bit to get there but when it finally did, I certainly enjoyed it. But the whole premise of the story was one hell of a story that you DO NOT WANT TO MISS OUT ON!! Amo is one true storyteller, and I could never get enough! Her side characters in this book were also entertaining, especially Shiloh's bff, Cooper (loved him)! But that ending tho, wow! I am super excited to read Phantom Crush (2nd book). I don't think I have ever been hooked on any other author's books like I am over Amo's ❤️
