Everyone is a little broken
Dark Island holds secrets. In the summer months when the sunny weather draws in members of the boat club, the castle is filled with laughter and good times. As winter brings icy wind through Alexandria Bay, New York, the halls fall silent.
Four lonely hearts alone in the castle are drawn together by voices of the dead when they send up an alarm that someone is on the island who shouldn’t be. What begins with solitude has them coming together to protect their secrets.
If they can survive the harsh winter, the silent attacks in the night, and their own emotional baggage, there might just be a happy ending for the new year. IF they can survive.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
To start off, if you haven’t read Graduation No Face yet, do so! That was a big introduction to these characters and Dark Island and you will go into Dead Nights with a way better understanding of what these guys are facing! So our story follows Zephyr, Darwin, Matty, and Liam. When Zephyr’s best friend falls in love, Zephyr finds himself facing a bit of heartache and change he didn’t expect. He wasn’t in love with his best friend, but he feels like he is losing him nonetheless. Figuring out what to do and his feelings, he stays behind at Dark Island. But he isn’t alone. Darwin is staying as well because Dark Island has a secret society and everyone takes their turn watching over it. Zephyr and Darwin never really interacted much despite being part of the same group, but being there together, they find themselves in a friends with benefits situation that surprises the both of them when not only is their chemistry insane, but the things they have in common. The two of them are waking up and realizing that maybe they missed something that was in front of them all this time. But it isn’t just them in the castle either. Matty has been stuck on Dark Island for the last two years. His boyfriend, Liam, is part of the society and in his hope to bring Matty fully into his life and no secrets, he tries to bring Matty into the society. But it backfires. Scarring both of them in ways neither have healed from. They may still love one another, but Liam is punishing himself in the guilt he feels for breaking Matty. And Matty is dealing with a very interesting side effect. He can see the spirits that are on the Island. With Liam currently away, Matty finds himself actually keeping company with Zephyr and Darwin. And it isn’t long until the two of them realize that the society handle Matty’s situation horribly. They’re protective of him. And when Liam returns to the island, well things start to change for all of them. It’s a journey of healing and falling in love and forgiveness. But that’s not all. People are being sent to the island to discover its secrets and they get bolder and bolder. They’ll have to stop them once and for all. But can they take it on alone? I actually really loved this story. I was curious about all these characters for various reasons. And I was even more curious to see how the four of them would end up together. It was this almost slowburn emotionally as they figured who they were to one another and how it could work between them. I really adored all of them and the supernatural aspect of the story only made it that much more interesting! I can’t wait for the next book!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
