Vanessa Sands is afraid of everything - the dark, heights, the ocean - but her
fearless older sister, Justine, has always been there to coach her through
every challenge. That is until Justine
goes cliff diving one night near the family's vacation house in Winter Harbor,
Maine, and her lifeless body washes up on shore the next day. Vanessa's parents
want to work through the tragedy by returning to their everyday lives back in
Boston, but Vanessa can't help feeling that her sister's death was more than an
accident. After discovering that Justine
never applied to colleges, and that she was secretly in a relationship with
longtime family friend Caleb Carmichael, Vanessa returns to Winter Harbor to
seek some answers. But when Vanessa learns that Caleb has been missing since
Justine's death, she and Caleb's older brother, Simon, join forces to try to
find him, and in the process, their childhood friendship blossoms into
something more. Soon it's not just Vanessa who is afraid. All of Winter Harbor is abuzz with anxiety
when another body washes ashore, and panic sets in when the small town becomes
home to a string of fatal, water-related accidents . . . in which all the
victims are found grinning from ear to ear. As Vanessa and Simon probe further
into the connections between Justine's death and the sudden rash of creepy
drownings, Vanessa uncovers a secret that threatens her new romance, and that
will change her life forever.
Vanessa is so afraid of everything. We first meet her as she
is at the top of a cliff with her sister just about to jump off for a little
cliff diving. But she can’t do it. Soon after that her sister is dead. Vanessa
wants answers but there only seems to be more questions. And Simon and her seem
to be the only ones that are putting all the pieces together. This is one of
those book that you fall into and are shocked when it is over. I couldn’t put
this book down once I started. Just when I thought I knew what was going on
there was a twist that was thrown in. I really love this book and look forward
to reading the next book, Undercurrent.
