Rachel Martre is slow in overcoming her capture by a twisted
serial killer, but who could get over such a thing quickly?
Wanting a relationship, but being unable to reach sexual
completion without the presence of spirits in her lake she
has kept the man closest to her at arm's length for too
long. Ethan Walker is more then she could have dreamed of. A
man who takes her as she is, and is even willing to put his
own needs aside while she seeks a balance from which she can
move forward.
Ethan Walker knows Rachel is the woman he wants, but he is
doing his best to give her the time and space she needs to
feel ready for a full relationship with him. He keeps busy
with his building business but one deal he makes is a step
too far into the paranormal world Rachel partially inhabits.
At a community gathering what seems to be the spirit from
the ancient Lo-Stahzi people rises from the depths of the
nearby lake then disappears, leaving no trace but for a
blurred image on any camera that had been pointed in his
direction. The lakes of Madison, Wisconsin each have their
own personality. Rachel's Lake Mendota has always been
welcoming, until now. As she visits her lake for her
expected communion she feels herself cut off the the spirits
who always welcome her, an evil entity stands between,
forcing his own desires onto her.
In DARK WATERS, the second of her Lady of the Lakes series,
Alex has written a tale with more emphasis on romance, less
on the terror but with a full complement of suspenseful
scenes leading to a satisfying conclusion.
By day, Rachel Matre runs a hip diner in downtown Madison,
Wisconsin. By night, she slips naked into the waters of a
lake whose spirits speak to her, caress her, and take her to
a place of indescribable pleasure.
But now the machinations of a greedy developer have summoned
another force from the depths - a strange, beautiful man
with a dark agenda. Soon there is a murder by the lake.
During the hunt for the killer, Rachel is pulled into a
torturous limbo where all she can feel is her raging erotic
lust - and never a release. A crime, an ancient curse, and a
confluence of thoroughly modern relationships have plunged
Rachel into the ultimate mystery: one whose solution will
emerge only out of pain, desire, and a passion for the most
forbidden truth of all.
