“It’s really cold outside. I opened your bag and folded your clothes as well. They’re in the drawer above mine.” I give her a grateful smile. I quickly wash up and find Beth waiting for me. A few of the kids have already left for the ferry. We’re all tired and subdued as we make our way to the ferry. On reaching the harbor, I blink. “That’s not a ferry.” It’s a smaller boat but we get on. Everybody is studying the maps and schedule we’ve been given. I decide to do the same. All five islands have names, it turns out. The island we arrived at yesterday is called Lorne Island, and the one we’re living on is called Misty Island. While the mess is going to be shared by everyone, the Zeroes and On

River Pack and the Vampires

River Pack and the Vampires

I laughed as I put our lunch together. We have a pond, but nowhere near as big as the one at Thaddeus's. And it doesn't have a dock, or a weeping willow. But it does have a few large and beautiful red maples, which is exactly where the blanket is laid out. Right underneath the one closest to the pond. I just finished setting everything up when I heard a squeak followed by giggles. I turn back to see Malaki carrying Justin who's squirming around in his arms as Malaki attacks his neck with his mouth.

I absolutely love this series, I never thought I would be one to like the bxb books but as soon as I read A Broken Alpha I was hooked. I fell in love with all the characters and they just keep getting better. I am always impatiently and excitedly waiting for the next chapter... Well done Abigail.

THE SALVATION : THE LEGEND OF THE WESTLAND

THE SALVATION : THE LEGEND OF THE WESTLAND

The trip was always in one direction, which is the west, because the island of the seven races is located in the far east, after a month of sailing, they arrived at a strange island that the records did not mention anything about it except that it is the island of sublime beings and that its environment is difficult and that the name given to it is the island of ice and fire, It was clear why it was called Ice and Fire, as half of the island was frozen and all ice, while the other half was a volcano. The crew asked Ahmet whether they would stop there or not. He thought a little, then replied that he is here to discover and have fun and will not miss the opportunity to discover the secrets of

The League of Rogues

The League of Rogues

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean" She looked up, a small smile on her lips. "It is all right. I understand what you meant. And this is certainly an interesting book. This woman finds herself stranded on an island after her ship breaks apart on the rocks. She swims to shore but is utterly alone until she spies a figure on a distant hill" "Aw You found out my secret." He recognized the book. It was called Lady Isabelle and the Lord of the Dark Isle. It was one of L. R. Gloucester's works, a rather torrid Gothic novel.

Lancelot's Secret

Lancelot's Secret

The mysterious island of Roab out on the Gulf Stream. “It could be an idyllic little slice of paradise you know? All palm trees and coconuts and fruity drinks? And they were laying on the beaches with white sand?” asked Jane in a dreamy voice. She was almost drooling at the thought of a holiday in an island. After spending all that time in hell it was not something that unusual. “Or it could be something a lot grimmer,” said Vermont with a warm smile. It was the first time that Susan had seen Vermont actually relax. She found that she was beginning to like this tough and lean faced man.

Island From Hell: Tamed by a False System

Island From Hell: Tamed by a False System

From that day on, Edith barely left my side. She personally changed my bandages and gave me water. Her movements were clumsy, yet achingly tender. The psychologist, Ambrose Diaz, came multiple times. However, I remained silent, refusing to utter a single word. As for Lucille, she pulled every string she had and joined forces with Edith's people, launching a frantic investigation into everyone connected to Paradise Island. Those people had already planned to flee abroad to lay low, but they were all intercepted at the airport transit hub. The moment they were caught, just one look at Lucille was enough to make their legs go weak. They dropped to their knees and begged for mercy. Wails and fra

My Alpha is a Lunatic

My Alpha is a Lunatic

“And get this—there was a whole group of tourists, like, a year ago? They all vanished here. Poof. The island ate them. That’s the secret. If we can catch anything on live stream, we’ll blow up. Our channel is so boring. This is our ticket.” So that’s my cover. A small-time streamer, here for clickbait and ghosts. I file it away. I don’t answer. I turn to look at the ocean, at the serene, sun-dappled waves rolling beside the ferry. My blood goes cold. Just beneath the surface, shadowing the hull, is a seething, dense cloud of small, pale shapes. Dozens. Hundreds. They have wide, unblinking eyes and mouths full of needle-thin teeth, opening and closing in silent unison. They aren’t fish. They

ISLAND OF DESIRE: REJECTED HEIRESS

ISLAND OF DESIRE: REJECTED HEIRESS

His eyes were grey‑green like deep tropical water clear enough to see straight into. “I know exactly what you mean,” he said softly. “I learned early too: never walk blind.” Resting Beside the Stream Around noon we reached a wide, clear stream. Water ran smooth and fast over shining white stones. It sparkled under patches of open sky and tasted cool and sweet pure, as if it came fresh from the island’s deepest heart. Everyone stopped gladly. We drank deeply, washed sweat and dust from faces and arms, soaked tired feet and rested backs against smooth rocks or soft moss.

Offered To The Cursed Alpha

Offered To The Cursed Alpha

The icy stream hammered against their skin, but they remained connected, their lips fused in a kiss that tasted of salt, hunger, and a sudden, terrifying vulnerability. Killian felt spellbound, his limbs heavy and his mind clouded by the scent of her. He was incapable of moving, his body refusing to break the contact. It was Isabella who finally pulled away, her eyes unreadable as she broke the kiss. She slid down his body, her damp skin grazing his one last time before she turned and began the slow trek toward the shore, leaving him standing alone in the churning water. He remained frozen, his chest still heaving as he watched her retreating form. Each agonizingly slow step took her away fr

A Ruthless Revenge: the Billionaire's Ex Wife Is Back

A Ruthless Revenge: the Billionaire's Ex Wife Is Back

Nothing but empty sand and the sound of gulls. Back on the boat, I caught Damien’s reflection in the cabin window—his expression carved from stone, but his knuckles white where he gripped the rail. Nathaniel stood beside the captain, pointing toward another island on the map. “We’ll move to the next one,” he said. “We keep searching.” I sank into my seat again, the engine roaring back to life beneath us. The islands stretched endlessly ahead—green after green, wave after wave. And all I could think was that somewhere out there, Celeste might be looking at the same horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

'Islands in the Stream' is set primarily in the Caribbean, specifically around Bimini, Cuba, and the Gulf Stream during the 1930s and 1940s. Hemingway paints a vivid picture of the island life—crystal-clear waters, scorching sun, and the rugged charm of coastal towns. The protagonist, Thomas Hudson, lives a solitary yet eventful existence as an artist, surrounded by fishermen, expatriates, and the occasional naval patrol during wartime. The sea is almost a character itself, reflecting Hudson’s internal struggles and the transient nature of human connections.

The novel’s second part shifts to Cuba, where Hudson’s life intertwines with his estranged family, adding emotional depth to the tropical backdrop. War looms in the later sections, bringing tension and urgency to the otherwise idyllic setting. Hemingway’s descriptions of marlin fishing, bar fights, and quiet moments on the water make the Caribbean feel alive, balancing beauty with underlying melancholy.
