About This Book

Something lurks beneath the still waters of Lake Ashmore — and it's been waiting for decades. When marine biologist Dr. Kira Sato arrives to investigate a series of unexplained drownings, the locals warn her to stay away from the lake after dark. But Kira doesn't believe in superstition. As she dives deeper into the lake's history, she uncovers a century-old tragedy, a town built on sacrifice, and a presence beneath the surface that feeds on secrets. The deeper she goes, the harder it becomes to surface. A supernatural thriller that plunges into the unknown depths where dark forces wait — patient, ancient, and hungry.

Editorial Review

Rivers creates a visceral sense of dread with Lake Ashmore — you can feel the cold water closing in. The supernatural elements are restrained and effective, and Kira Sato is a compelling protagonist who refuses to look away from the truth, even when the truth looks back.

Perfect for: Readers who love atmospheric supernatural thrillers with strong female leads and creeping dread.
