Lily’s parents have moved her
back to her hometown to keep her away from the lake where she almost died, but
Lily misses Calder, her merman boyfriend.
Also, Lily’s father, Jason, is fighting his urge to get in the water and
is confused about why he feels drawn to it.
Lily convinces Calder to help Jason understand what it means to be a
merman without losing his humanity, but all the time Calder spends with Jason
is time away from Lily and people are turning up dead all around the lake.
In this second book in the Lies Beneath trilogy
there is a mystery which moves the plot along quickly. I was disappointed that Lily and Calder’s
relationship wasn’t better developed and the ending seemed quickly wrapped up
after all of the build-up. That said, I
like this series because the setting feels realistic and the story is
interesting making it easy to recommend because it draws the reader in.
