From Back Cover:
The body floated in the depths of the river. Slowly it rose and fell with the shifting waters. The once beautiful eyes were wide and staring. The hair, once as red as copper, had turned a pale lifeless pink, sweeping out strand by strand in a large undulating fan. Trapped beneath the murky waters of the river, she waited. Don't go near the river, his aunt had said. But Kevin wouldn't listen to her. He could see the river from his new bedroom window as it glistened in the moonlight. Something dark and evil was waiting for him there. Something caught in a twilight world between life and death, that beckoned to him in his dreams with skeletal hands and spoke to him through the blackened flesh of decaying lips. Soemthing that once freed, would exact a terrifying, unthinkable revenge.

This is an oldie but a goodie for the horror fans. I'd never read anything by this author, but read about her on the forums and decided to try this one. I will definitely read more of her books when I'm in the mood for more chiller thrillers. I rate this one a 4+ as far as horror books go.
