Description

18-year-old Briar Winters must untangle the horrifying eldritch secrets of her picture-perfect coastal town in order to save the boy she loves after he disappears from time itself in this YA dark fantasy for fans of Bly Manor.

Historic Loch Creek is a witchy New England tourist trap--but it's just a trap for Briar, who's convinced she'll die there among the waves that devoured her twin brother thirteen years ago. But when her best friend who she's loved since childhood, Finn, vanishes from the seaside carnival, there's only one person who can help Briar find him: Morgan, her biggest enemy who knows her darkest secret.

As Briar uncovers hidden truths as deep and dark as the water that haunts her, it quickly becomes clear that Finn has gone much further than anyone could have imagined. He's lost in time, and neither of them are safe. If Briar and Finn look too hard, they might find terrifying answers--not just about what's buried beneath the shores, but also the threads tying them to each other. As past and future collide, the seductive yet evil underwater entity that intends to claim Briar still needs its sacrifice . . .

And it's too hungry to go unsated.

Equal parts epic bisexual romance and pulse-pounding horror, This Raging Sea is a dual POV dark fantasy as sweepingly powerful as the ocean that threatens to consume everything and everyone Briar has ever loved--prepare to be devoured.

Critical Reviews

The lead-up to the climax will enthrall readers... Seductive. . . .
--Kirkus Reviews

The mystery is captivating. . . . an intriguing story.
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Twisted, complex horrors await layered, openly bisexual characters with plenty of angst about their various relationships. A lot is happening here, but all of it is intense and intriguing, great for fans of complex romance and sci-fi twists.
