Wild Dark Shore

“Best read of 2025”

“A beautiful, devastating novel. Her writing is so spare and stunning—a portrait of a family, an island, climate crisis, and a mystery all rolled into one.”

“I loved this book so much, it immediately skyrocketed to my all-time Top 5. It will keep you guessing but also speaks to your heart and the world we’re living in, while being totally separate from the world we’re living in.”

“Thrilling!”

“This book is so unique - I haven't read anything with a remotely similar plotline. Inventive, real, dark at times... this one is unusual but highly entertaining.”

“Such an amazing book, so atmospheric. A beautiful story about a family that lives off the grid. About climate change, and all the drama that nature performs.”

“Strong sense of place, deeply human, complex characters, and moving plot. 5 stars from me.”

“Easily on of my new favs!!”

“4.75/5 stars. Really pulled me in. A moody, page-turning mystery set on a remote island, mixing grief, survival + climate fiction in a really immersive way.”

“Some climate disaster fiction is in here but she does it so well and writes her characters so beautifully that the anxiety managed to be manageable. There’s some mystery, and deep deep love.”

“Heart wrenching read.”

“Immediately skyrocketed to one of my favorite books ever. A mysterious (not actually scary) thriller that helped to heal the part of me that is scared to love after loss, and scared to love while the world burns.”

“Just finished this haunting, beautiful, heartbreaking audiobook. The narration brought the story to life with the voice actors changing between characters. This dystopian-like novel is captivating in it’s ability to balance reality, hope, and grief.”

“So moody, and was a perfect fall/winter read. Loved the unexpected twists, connections to nature, and love story. This book literally has it all!”

“Mysterious. Heartbreaking. Hopeful.”
