Windswept Way is very mild in terms of thriller, rich in terms of mystery, and drawn out in terms of romance. I love a romance that builds and it certainly does in this case. I also love that there are multiple levels to the mystery in this book. The "scary" elements are more cheesy than scary, but I prefer it that way.
The characters are so well-written I found myself wondering if they were loosely based on real people. They have a good amount of history and stay true to their own unique personalities. The character growth is also very well-written. Jonathon was my favorite character because of how wonderful his story and growth are.
The setting and plot are also wonderful and well-established. There's no big plot holes and it's a very satisfying read.
The one thing I wasn't a fan of is how inner dialogue is written in this book. I prefer "she wondered" or "he thought". The dialogue in this book is plain text. There is no italicize or mention of whose inner dialogue it is. It's easy enough to figure out through context, but it's not a writing style I enjoyed. This didn't take away much from the book.
I recommend this book and would definitely consider reading more in the series. I received this book for free in exchange for this honest review.
