I actually really liked this book, but I tend to like books with this formula. The main character finds an old diary and it unlocks secrets to the past. This time the main character is a male librarian, and not a female. The diary is a book sent to him by a stranger.

Not only is his house decaying or eroding, and falling into the sea, so is his life. His sister Enola is in danger of family curse, where the women in the family drown themselves on July 24th, only days away.

The main character feels like he is running against time to stop fate and break a curse. The back story goes back generations, and involve, a wild wolf boy, a tarot card reader, a mermaid, and so much more.

I really enjoyed the book, but put it off due some negative or MEH reviews. I found the book engaging from the beginning. I would highly recommend it.
