Still Waters by Emma Carlson Berne

Paperback, 240 pages

Expected publication: December 20th 2011 by Simon Pulse

Synopsis

Hannah can't wait to sneak off for a romantic weekend with her boyfriend, Colin. He’s leaving for college soon, and Hannah wants their trip to the lake house to be one they’ll never forget.

But once Hannah and Colin get there, things start to seem a bit...off. They can't find the town on any map. The house they are staying in looks as if someone's been living there, even though it's been deserted for years. And Colin doesn’t seem quite himself. As he grows more unstable, Hannah worries about Colin’s dark side, and her own safety.

Nothing is as perfect as it seems, and what lies beneath may haunt her forever.

My Thoughts

What is the girl doing, floating in the water? Is she unconscious? Sleeping? Dead? This eye-catching cover makes people wonder what is up. The title, STILL WATER, immediately makes me think about the other half "runs deep". Plus, the synopsis is intriguing and laced with a hint of suspense! I'm definitely adding this book to my wish list!
