Summary from Goodreads:
Luckless Eila is unknowingly the last of
her kind: Rare. Gifted. Breakable. Stunning Raef is her kind's historic enemy:
Soulless. Lethal. Lost. A legendary death 160 years before would set their
lives to collide, forcing a beautiful killer to become a savior, a simple wallflower
to become a warrior, and ruthless destiny to become a death sentence.
SUMMARY:
High school senior Eila Walker knows that good luck skips over her like an
Easter Bunny on Speed. So when she inherits her grandmother's million-dollar
Cape Cod home, she is downright shocked. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect:
the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her
Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila
is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to
repeat itself.A self-proclaimed loner and previous-social reject, Eila thinks she's hit the jackpot when drool-worthy Raef O’Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow. But being hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow slams the brakes on bliss – especially when Raef storms to her aid with coal-black eyes and iron-like strength.
Eila, entirely freaked, demands an explanation and Raef comes clean, revealing that neither of them are average humans but rather the genetic remnants of an angelic pissing-match gone wrong. Eila supposedly can channel the power of human souls, while Raef is quite adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila’s grandmother was one kick-ass warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA.
Now sought by Raef’s own family for her destructive ability, Eila must trust him to watch her back. But when a quest for information goes terribly wrong, Eila is suddenly left with only two options: become a weapon for the enemy or follow in her Gram’s fearless footsteps to save those she loves. Unfortunately she needs a willing enemy to ignite her suicidal energy and the only one she trusts has been guarding her butt and scorching her lips.

What readers are Saying:
WOrkS
of FiCTioN – “All in all Undertow is a great book that not
only keeps you guessing, but doesn't let you set it down. I loved the
characters and their interactions and definitely hoping for a continuation of
their story.”
Reading
Diva – “This series takes paranormal somewhere I
haven’t been as a reader and I can’t wait to spend more time at the Cape or
wherever Eila’s journey takes her. Do I recommend this book? Yes, Yes, Yes, and
YES!” (TOP PICK winner)
Book
Talks by the Library Lady – “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
don't want to wait for this story to continue! This is an addictive read.”
About the Author
I have been a journalist for 15 years and serve on
the Board of Directors for the Cape Cod Writers Center. I also drive a 16-ton
school bus because I am ENTIRELY NUTS.
In addition
to working jobs that should come with a warning label, I hold a BA in Psychos
(Forensic Psych), torment the tourists about Jaws, and occasionally jump from
the Town Neck Bridge in an attempt to reclaim my youth.
I live on Cape Cod with two smallish humans who
apparently are my kids, my fishing- obsessed husband, two canines (adept at
both flatulence and snoring), and a cage-defiant lovebird that sleeps in a
miniature tent. Nope - that's not a type-o. The bird is quite the indoor camper.
