SPOILER ALERT! If you
haven’t read the first book in the series, Lies
Beneath, Stop! I don’t want to ruin the story for you.
“It’s been thirty days, two hours and
seventeen minutes since Calder left Lily standing on the shores of Lake
Superior. Not that she’s counting.”
Lily Hancock
isn’t counting until her high school graduation but the time since she last saw
Calder White. She was sent back to Minneapolis to finish high school after the
tragic events at the family’s house on Laker Superior. Reunited with both her
family and Calder at her graduation, Lily is determined to let her father know
about his true identity. Trying to talk her out of it, Calder thinks it is a
bad idea. Shocked and confused, Calder agrees to show Jason Hancock the ways of
being a merman.
With her
father monopolizing all of Calder’s time, Lily finds the draw to the water too
irresistible to ignore. Seeing if she has any mermaid characteristics, Lily
spends time in the lake and discovers she can hold her breath for longer than
normal periods of time and hear voices under the water. Not heeding Calder’s
warnings to stay out of the water, her continued existence is soon discovered
by Maris and Pavati. When they learn of Talluah’s death, Maris is devastated.
With his sisters grieving, Calder fears not only for the Hancock family’s
safety, but for anyone that enters the water.
Jason Hancock
spends most of his time now in the water and begins to ignore his family. Maris
and Pavati seem to be in hiding. Jack Pettit is telling everyone that there are
mermaids in the lake. No one really believes him and thinks he is crazy. The reports
of boaters and swimmers encountering rip currents begin to surface. Calder and Lily
suspect a mermaid is behind it. Soon bodies are found in the area. The race to
stop the killings is on before someone begins to believe Jack’s ramblings and
begins searching the lake.
Who is behind
the killings; Maris and Pavati, Jason Hancock or someone else? Is Lily
beginning to transform into a mermaid? Can Jason Hancock find his way back to
his family? What will happen if someone begins to take Jack Pettit seriously?
Lily and
Calder’s story will conclude in Promise
Bound in 2014.
