Willa Eklund had run away to the island on the Sunshine Coast to her aunt who had always been supportive to her in ways no one else ever had been. Willa needed that support right now to heal from a broken heart and a mother who belittled her every move. Little does she know that the CALL OF THE DEEP has more meaning than she ever guessed. Her aunt is missing and no one in the small town seems to know where she has gone or why.
So many things are happening to Willa - unexpected and frightening things. The ocean seems to be pulling her to its cold depth and she wonders why? She is also intrigued by the friend of her aunts, Lon, who appeared during a 3 a.m. storm and disappeared just as quickly. She wants answers but can she find them on the island before the mysterious forces change everything.
CALL OF THE DEEP is a fascinating look at secrets that change a woman's life so completely that she realizes that everything she knew was a lie. Willa and Lon are both a mystery to one another and a perfect match - once the truth of who and what Willa is comes out.
Getting to the bottom of the mystery of her missing aunt - though there are hints throughout the book, dealing with her mother and, of course, the ex-boyfriend who is also a controlling jerk (who comes around and orders her back - so not happening) thanks to Lon, Lon is a mysterious water being who endangers his own life for her. True love at its best there.
If you love a mystery, a woman who is finding herself, a man who is finding his heart stolen by her, and an ocean filled with drama then CALL OF THE DEEP is just the book to read.
This book was previously published in 2016 as "The Shucker's Booktique" but has been revised.
