- Reading
- Try the opening together, then check whether the mix of romance and supernatural mystery suits your reader before continuing independently.
- Themes
- Secrets and belonging: Sam tries to uncover secrets about the beach and its ocean-dwelling inhabitants. The premise makes discovery central, but does not show whether secrecy is questioned, defended or simply part of the mystery.
- Romantic uncertainty: Sam falls for DeeDee, who pulls away and leaves him confused. The relationship includes uncertainty, but the premise does not establish how either character’s choices are portrayed.
- Worth knowing
- Romantic interest and unexplained attention towards Sam are part of the premise; how these dynamics are handled is not clear.
