Seventeen-year-old Eila Walker’s new home has defied the brutal Atlantic for over 160 years. Abandoned since her 4th great grandmother Elizabeth vanished, the town legend declares that she drowned . . . or was struck by lightning.
Unbeknownst to the town and Eila, however, is that someone does know what really happened to Elizabeth, and he has
returned, determined to protect the last surviving Walker from a history of violence.
But what starts out as a quest for redemption, evolves into something more and soon young guardian, Raef, is forced to reveal the truth to Eila. As hidden secrets about their warring
families come to light, Eila begins to realize that she may be their best shot at survival, even if it means following in her
grandmother’s fearless footsteps to save her killer bodyguard.


Goodreads Reviews:
“This book has it all - a deep exciting story, characters I actually gave a crap about, and an ending that left me longing for more.”

“Great book!! The writing was vivid and created great atmospheres and characters. The mystery about Eila, Raef, and the others was top-notch.”

“Eila makes the perfect heroine just as Katniss Everdeen did in the Hunger Games. By the end of the book I could see the characters perfectly in my head and could not wait for more.”

“This is a must read! I feel lost now that I have finished the book and can not wait until the next book gets published.”

“It is so much more than a teenage drama, which I had assumed it was in the beginning. Plenty of action, a little comedy, drama, and a love story.”

“The down-to-earth development of each character combined with the out-of-this-world story line creates a fantastic book and sets up for an even better series.”

“The characters, the story line...from beginning to end it kept me on the edge of my seat. Forget vampires...they are old news! I can't wait to read the sequel!”

“I’m a high school teacher, and I struggle constantly with finding something that teenagers will read. Already three of my students have read Undertow and asked where the second book was! It’s THAT good.”

“Wow, the author does a wonderful job of creating a whole new realm of Paranormal. It is fresh and a fabulous new read. I was totally sucked into the world the author created.”

“This book captures your interest immediately. It keeps you turning the pages and leaves you wanting more.”

“I loved it! I have not found any lengths, no downtime. I liked this very dynamic paranormal romance. Can't wait to put my hands on the sequel...”

“It starts fast and never slows down, so it keeps you interested and wanting more.”

“I was hooked with the story knowing that something was going on but unable to predict what. When Eila starts to discover what is going on, the story just develops and in no way did I ever find it predictable. I will definitely be checking out the next book in the series, just gutted I will have to wait so long to do so.”

“I could not put this one down! Even when I needed to put it down, I had to almost immediately pick it back up. It took mere hours for me to read this entire book and I am truly ticked that Eila's next story won't be published until July 2014.”

“I would think that the book was going to go in one direction and then be totally surprised by the outcome. I literally could not put this down."
