Shadows in the Water

Indi Peters never expected high school to be deadly. One night, someone tried to kill her and failed. On that same night, Brandy Hamilton, the queen bee of Army Bay, disappeared without a trace.

With pieces of her memory missing and rumors spreading like wildfire, Indi finds herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Once invisible, she is now tangled in Brandy’s world and drawn into the orbit of the town’s most dangerous and alluring teens: the perfect twin, the star athlete, the wealthy snob, the irresistible boyfriend, and the unpredictable loner.

No one can be trusted. Everyone is hiding something. And the girl Indi cannot stop thinking about may be hiding the darkest secret of all.

As the truth slowly comes together, Indi realizes Brandy’s disappearance was only the beginning. Army Bay is full of lies, betrayals, and dangers that could cost her life. The real question is who will be next.

It was supposed to last forever. That’s what he always said. But forever turned out to be a lot shorter than Lucy Rhodes expected, and just when things couldn’t hurt more, he’s in the halls kissing someone Lucy thought was her friend.
In a town as quiet as Silverpine, being publicly dumped should have been the worst thing to happen to Lucy that day, that’s until she stumbles across beloved high school principal, Mina Rybeck, strangled in her office.
Anyone else would be traumatized, but Lucy’s passion for true crime means she might have found something to take her mind off her sick heart. But this isn’t going to be easy.
