Dark and Lonely Water

This was a fast easy read that was a dark mixing of folklore, creepiness, tension and was reminiscent of old creature feature movies.

Sam Ashlyn is a single mother raising two children. She works as a journalist and her latest assignment takes her back to her hometown to investigate recent drownings. But once her investigation begins, she quickly realizes that these are not typical drownings if they are drownings at all.

She joins forces with Chris, a disgraced police diver and they soon stumble across a decades old conspiracy to keep an ancient evil hidden. She and Chris hope to put an end to this nightmare before it puts an end to anyone else.

This one quickly grabbed my attention and held on to it until the very end. Speaking of the end, I’m still processing it.

This book was creepy and full of tension that ebbed and flowed throughout the book. That alone kept me on my toes, turning the pages. It also had a nice amount of dread in the last part of the book. I could feel the chilling atmosphere as I read. I enjoyed being a silent observer tagging along as Chris and Sam investigated, interviewed, and got closer to the truth.

Gripping and tense, this books packs a punch and kept me on my toes! It can easily be read in one sitting.
