About this ebook

June has always been in motion. She's never satisfied with a place for long, so she's always moving and never content. Even her love life is a maelstrom, leaving behind a long list of lovers. After years of searching for a sense of belonging, she is drawn to the ocean waters near Leekston. She convinces Jeremy, a wealthy young playboy with a yacht, to take her out to the cold open waters.

She hopes to find answers, but Jeremy expects compensation for his trip and something watches in the deep waters. They are not alone.

Undertow is a fantastic little short story. It is amazing how quickly the storyline came together and the characters pulled you in from the beginning pages. From page one, you are intrigued by what might be going on, and by the end, you are smiling. It is a bit of a suspense story with what some might consider mild horror, but not really. Retribution is not horror. With an awesome twist, suspense, drama, domestic violence (which is why retribution really is a thing), a little predictability, and strong female characters, Undertow is an engaging, easy short read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
