An attractive man named Aiden gives him a boat ride and claims he remembers Will from his youth. Will has never been to the island and ignores his new attraction, after all he's here for Parker. Crawling back to your ex is never a good idea, but it's especially horrid when you get to the door and find out the hard way that they have moved on. In Parkers case, with a beautiful woman named Sina.
Buuuuurn!
Distraught, Will runs through the forest in tears barely reaching a small cabin where a man named Cyrus lets him in before hypothermia set in. Cyrus starts off kind to Will and insinuates himself as Will's new boyfriend. Cyrus says he has been waiting years for Will to return to the island.
When Cyrus shows Will his true form as a cephalopod it goes over reasonably well because Will is a very odd guy. Other islanders seem to remember him too, which freaks Will out enough to want to get off the island. But by this time Cyrus has had his tentacles in Will, literally, and they secrete toxins that make him biddable.
Aiden comes by when Cyrus is not around to help Will remember his past. The more Will remembers the more Cyrus lets his mask drop and shows the monster, THE MONSTER!!!, he is. The real Cyrus is Stephen King levels of evil bad guy. The kind of guy who would casually, seriously, sociopathically, discuss cutting your arms off because you won't need them since he has eight with which to care for you.
Shiver.
This book was everything it said it was, so reader be warned... or titillated.
