“DEAD SKY MORNING was a complete mind f*ck!” ~Under the Covers
BE WARNED!! Fangirl gushing is about to begin!
OMG OMG OMG If I could just write a review with OMG and F****cking Awesome then that would be it for this book. Because it was OMG F*****cking awesome!
DEAD SKY MORNING is full of nail biting suspense, mixed in with just the right amount of forbidden love. But it’s all wrapped up in creepily awesome story that completely blew my mind!
Dex and Perry go to D’Arcy Island to investigate the ghosts of a leper colony, that has been said haunt the island for many decades. As if leper ghosts aren’t enough, there were also some missionaries who died on the island and maybe some of their stories haven’t been told as they were.
Of course Dex and Perry attract them right away! From gross, to creepy, to plain out scary. DEAD SKY MORNING was a complete mind f*ck for me. I started questioning my own suspicions on what was happening as I was reading! Is Perry really just crazy? Is Dex trustworthy? I felt like there was no safe haven for me in this book, and the unstable feeling I got from it was so awesome!
I literally read this in one night, while curled up on the couch (in the corner, with my back to the wall, no windows allowed behind me). I don’t think I could’ve done without the support of my friends, who got plenty of creepy text messages from me as sh*t was hitting the fan.
Then there’s Dex and Perry. I’m on pins and needles with them and the curve ball we were thrown in at the beginning of this book was not what I would’ve predicted. I love these two with a passion and I can’t wait for them to see they love each other! The chemistry is just off the charts!
This is by far my favorite book in the series so far… because it’s also the scariest. I predict an addiction.
Favorite Quotes:
“I felt a gush of warmth flowing from them. It was my blood. It seeped freely from my tender knuckles and from the wounds at my both wrists. I didn’t care. I had to get out. If I didn’t, I would die.”
“This was going to be the world’s most terrifying zipline ever.”

About Karina Halle
The daughter of a Norwegian Viking and a Finnish Moomin, Karina Halle grew up in Vancouver, Canada with trolls and eternal darkness on the brain. This soon turned into a love of all things that go bump in the night and a rather sadistic appreciation for freaking people out. Like many of the flawed characters she writes, Karina never knew where to find herself and has dabbled in acting, make-up artistry, film production, screenwriting, photography, travel writing and music journalism. She eventually found herself in the pages of the very novels she wrote (if only she had looked there to begin with).
Karina holds a screenwriting degree from Vancouver Film School and a Bachelor of Journalism from TRU. Her travel writing, music reviews/interviews and photography has appeared in publications such as Consequence of Sound, Mxdwn and GoNomad Travel Guides. She currently splits her time between her apartment in downtown Vancouver and her sailboat, where a book and a bottle of wine are always at hand.
I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!
I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
