(Book 10 in the Underwater Murder Series) When Nerissa set off for work that particular day years ago, she never expected the events that were to follow. Meeting the merman who would eventually become her boyfriend and husband, coming across a murder scene, eventually finding out the murderer's identity. Even now, years later, her PTSD makes it difficult to function on a daily basis. Her daughter, Isadora, has her own struggles. Alongside her anxiety and depression, she also struggles with PTSD. She deals with it as best she can, but some days it's all she can do to stay in the present. For both mother and daughter, memories of the past have their way of sneaking up and invading a meal, a leisurely swim, or a class. Their husbands have been doing whatever they can to help them, but there's only so much they can do. Nerissa and Izzy both still have days where the nightmares make it impossible to get out of bed the following day. When an old enemy resurfaces, bringing with him unwanted memories, will Nerissa and Izzy be able to push past them and work with him? Or will they both succumb to the truth-that some memories stay with you forever? Read to find out.

(Underwater Murder Series spin-off; Book 2 in the Family Ties Series) "Some days, I feel everything at once. Other days, I feel nothing at all. I don't know what's worse: drowning beneath the waves, or dying of thirst." At this point in her life, the above quote basically sums up Faye Mercer. After being diagnosed with depression two years ago, it's all she can do to keep a smile on her face, keep being positive and happy. The demons of her past have kept her beneath the waves for months now, hardly allowing her to breathe. From nightmares to insomnia, she can't seem to catch a break. Her reputation as a Siren has thrust her into a spotlight for which she wasn't prepared; to say nothing of her PTSD associated with said reputation. Her parents and brother are doing their best to carry on as normal as possible, but even they have tough days. If it wasn't for Waverly, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed. It all comes to a head one day when she receives a letter inviting her to a special 'for Sirens only' concert. She hasn't used her voice in years, hasn't even allowed herself to even entertain the thought. Will she be able to keep her head above water, or will she find herself flailing, drowning all over again? Read to find out.
