Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy is contemporary fiction that blends in some mystery and suspense. When a woman washes ashore on a remote island a family takes her in but they can’t keep their secrets buried forever. Shearwater was once an island filled with researchers as it is the home to the world’s largest seed bank but rising sea levels make the island dangerous. 

I was not sure what to expect going into this book! I am so glad I finally got around to reading it though. It was fantastic. Well-written, vivid imagery, suspense, and emotional. The way the author describes this was so easy to picture. The island sounded so beautiful and the thought process into the nature and importance of nature was spectacular. 

I loved the different POV’s. I thought it was so interesting to see how each member of the family was coping, what they were thinking, and of course input into what has really happened. The little romance subplot was equally as enchanting. This definitely pulled on my heart strings.

We read this for my book club and I honestly loved it so much. 

I would highly recommend to those who enjoy contemporary fiction with a little suspense, romance, and impossible choices.
