From New York Times Bestseller Pepper Winters comes a timeless love story answering the question of what happens when everything is stripped away.
"There is a message for everything. From handwritten to verbal, seen and unseen. Messages exist all around us." But what if you don't see? What if you don't understand? What if, by ignoring the message, your life is never the same again? Estelle Evermore morphed from nobody to somebody overnight. Galloway Oak put his past behind him and endeavored to make his fortune using his trade. Two strangers. One plane. Multiple unseen messages. From sky to island, they find neither fame nor skills can save them. Stripped from society and left alone to survive the elements, the very task of staying alive outweighs all other needs. Until survival turns to desire. And desire turns to danger.

OUR REVIEW
Kim's Review!*****
Unseen Messages follows Estelle Evermore as she attempts to travel home to Australia after a singing tour, only to end up a Castaway on a remote Fiji island with three other survivors. Fellow castaway Galloway Oak hides a troubled past, and he and Estelle have an instant spark of chemistry as soon as they meet, Galloway's past stops him from acting on his attraction.
The story is written in dual points of view by both Estelle and Galloway, and follows the castaways as they try and survive being stranded on the island with no food or water. Unseen Messages has quite a few heartbreaking moments, but it also shows the characters strength and hope. It was great to see the characters go from strangers to family, and how they manage to find food and water to keep them alive. The Author has definitely researched island survival thoroughly I was very impressed to learn of how the survivors learn to live off of the land. This is a rather long book that I didn't want to stop reading because I needed to know what their fate would be, and if they would finally get some good luck!
I don't want to go into anymore detail and spoil the story for anyone. I have to say this is unlike anything I have ever read by Pepper Winters. It was a nice surprise even though I was expecting a dark read. The entire story wasn't what I was expecting and it definitely didn't end how I was expecting and I loved that! Be prepared for some shocks along the way the poor characters go from one struggle to another. This definitely kept my attention the whole way through. Five stars!
*****Nic's Review*****
This was a very long read but worth it. In the beginning it seemed to drag a bit but not in an uneventful way. In this story you meet Estelle. A woman going home from being on tour in America. She was given messages that were over looked and later her life forever changed. Galloway is man with an haunting past. Trying to make up for it he is headed to Fiji to help with some work. Then you meet the Evermore family. One fated night and their lives changed.
This was an emotional read at times. Reading about the struggles and pain the survivors endured. I felt like I was with them. Learning right along with them all. The characters were well developed. So much so you fell in love with each one. There are moments in this book that just hurt to read. Others were I laughed along with them. I enjoyed reading how they evolved in their situation. How they adapted to their new life. I was so eager to find out how this was going to end. It was not disappointing. 5 stars!
