Melody Sparks' mother always said it'd take a cataclysm to bring her back to Marblehead, Maine - but now Jennifer is dead, and 16-year-old Mel finds herself being forced to return to an ancestral home she barely remembers, and the guardianship of her cantankerous grandmother Adaline.
Yet Marblehead is more than the sleepy fishing town it pretends to be, and Mel soon becomes swept up in a secret society as old as the village itself. Caught between childhood neighbor Ethan Bradley and Keiko Arora, a mysterious exchange student who travels with a gypsy fleet, Mel will find her strength tested to the utmost as she fights to claim her rightful place within the tight-knit community.
As cultural divides bring tensions to the brink of violence, Mel, Keiko, and Ethan must race the clock to defeat an otherwordly evil before it forever obliterates Marblehead's secrets - and with it, everything Mel could ever love.

The Summer Below
Sixteen-year-old Lila Torres can feel it the moment she steps onto the dock of her family's lakehouse. This summer will be different. Once a place of laughter, friendship, and endless sunlight, Hollow Lake now hums with secrets and shadows that move where they shouldn't. Reuniting with childhood friends Eli and Lucas, and alongside her twin sister Aria, bold, reckless, and impossible to ignore, Lila quickly discovers that the lake holds more than nostalgia. Strange flickering lights in the forest, carved symbols on the dock, and whispers from the water hint at a darkness buried beneath the surface called the Hollow. It is a place where memories can be stolen, loved ones vanish, and reality bends in frightening ways. When Lucas disappears during a summer night swim, the stakes become terrifyingly real. Guided by the cryptic Rowan, a boy who seems to know far too much about the lake's mysteries, the group must dive into the Hollow itself. Beneath the calm waters lies a labyrinth of tunnels, a distorted version of their town, and a monstrous creature that feeds on the past, twisting nostalgia, love, and rivalry into a deadly trap. As the Hollow tests them, Lila faces impossible choices. She must confront the limits of courage, the depths of her love for Lucas, and the unbreakable bond with her sister. To save those she cares about, she will have to sacrifice her strongest memory, leaving her with a haunting emptiness in its place. The Summer Below is a heart-pounding coming-of-age mystery, blending small-town secrets, supernatural terror, and the bittersweet ache of first love.
