A cursed lighthouse, a malevolent shapeshifter, and a deadly game. One life-altering decision could seal their fate. In Solitary Island, Australia. A malevolent shapeshifter haunts a storm-battered lighthouse. When Dahlia confronts an ancient secret, she must make a life-or-death sacrifice to save herself and Paranormal Jack from a terrifying entity trapped between worlds. Caught in a twisted game, Dahlia is forced to make an impossible choice-one of them must die for the other to survive. As Paranormal Jack fights to escape the lighthouse's sinister grip, he must explore the human fear of death and what lies beyond to uncover the horrifying truth. Betwixt has been claiming the souls of those who enter the lighthouse for centuries, and its curse runs deep. As fate hangs in the balance, Dahlia must uncover the dark history of the Island and make a desperate bid before the evil grave wind takes hold. Grave Wind is the first book in the Haunting Dahlia series. This riveting tale, packed with unforgettable characters, heart-pounding paranormal investigations, and shocking twists, will leave readers spellbound. If you were hooked by the eerie tension of Dean Koontz's Phantoms, this electrifying story is a must-read.
This was an enjoyably quick read that kept me intrigued the whole time. To me it kinda read as a bunch of short stories connected by the being known as Betwixt who plays games in return for a soul as they are trapped by another entity on the same small isolated island. You get to know them as well as Dahlia and Paranormal Jack who have their own connections to the other side and are working to find out why terrible things are happening (lots of disappearances and deaths, partially courtesy of Betwixt) and free the island from the long lasting curse of the Grave Wind. It would be an interesting place to visit though I am not sure I would be brave enough to enter the lighthouse or the cottage standing by it at least not without Dahlia and Paranormal Jack! They are quite impressive by the end and I would love to read about their further adventures in defeating the dark powers in solitary places!
