This book was nothing like I expected it to be, but in a good way. 
 For one, there wasn't a lot of romance in this book. (view spoiler)[I for sure thought that Willa would fall in love with The Grey Man and they would find a way to break the curse but it never happened. The only thing Grey ever wanted to do was kiss her to pass his curse on to her. (hide spoiler)] I mean sure at the start of the book she has a boyfriend and everyone in the village thinks they're going to marry each other and live happily ever after, blah blah blah. But then some things happen, stupid decisions on his part, and they break up. At this point, I thought she was free to pursue a romance with Grey but nope. She only ever visited him when she wanted to run from her problems. 
 Her brother's death was one of the central key points that moved the story along. It was the source of Willa's constant troubles, the trial, trying to put the killer in prison but then when the grand jury said that there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute him, Willa's dad decides to take matters into his owns hands and that's when Willa decides to go to Grey (well okay this happened at the end of the book but it led down to it.) 
 I liked that it was written in both their point of views, although it was very confusing at times when reading it in Grey's POV since he didn't know that much about his curse. Either way, it was interesting to read what was going on from different perspectives. The setting and story telling about being on a lobster boat and fishing and living on a small fishing village is so well written that I give props to the author for writing such an interesting story that if it was written in another way, I totally would have stopped reading the book. 
 After being put out by the lack of romance, I admit that it was one of the most intriguing books I've read. It had paranormal elements and everyday stuff plus normal believable characters plus the whole plot and wanting to figure out what happened next made this book worthwhile. I would definitely recommend this book to others but just know that there's little to no romance involved.
