The lake of placid water was framed in the forested hills of Arkansas. It was a beautiful place for a midnight swim.
Ilene dived forward and began to swim. Jerry's long body slipped beside her, his arms breaking the surface of the moon-touched darkness.
The Jerry disappeared suddenly and silently.
Ilene moved back, her eyes searching for Jerry. Where had he gone? Could he be diving in the dark depths?
Why didn't he surface?
In a sudden spasm of terror, she whirled and swam for shore.
She didn't make it.
Jerry was the first, and Ilene was the second. How many more would there be before the lake's new owner discovered that there was something in the lake? Something incredibly ancient. Something ravenous.

This was a terrible book. Very unbelievable. Unfortunately I finished it but the ending was one of the worst I've ever read.
Ruby Jean Jensen always gets a 5 star rating from me! I love her horror, Best 80s horror around.
This book has excellent character development. Leads up to the encore graciously, then boom, scares the pants right off of you.
The Lake was very spooky, the woods surrounding this man- made lake, the cabins set back within the shadows of the trees. Strange things and strange sounds occur every night around the crystal clear 90 foot deep lake. Whats in the water? What's hiding within its depths, within its cave system set deep within the middle?
Im staying away from lakes for a while after reading this one!
