Unholy Water

It's March in Lake Wonder, and something is in the water. It's not Bill Gates or fluoride, though. It's something else. It's something more dead-- and much more deadly.

Tiff is a high school senior who is dealing with everything from her Bigfoot obsession to her best friend moving to the Fae World. If there's one thing she needs, it's a distraction from her impending graduation and the opening night of a school musical she's doing light work for.

Denny also needs a distraction-- mostly from an anniversary she doesn't want to think about. Working as a janitor and sometime-assistant coach, spending time with her friends, and involuntarily turning into a wolf in the woods can really only do so much to keep her mind off of it.

It's good for the both of them, then (and bad for the rest of the town) when something enters the water supply and a rash of illnesses, accidents, and weird deaths takes over the town.

Who is Despina Worth and what happened to her? Why is there blue ectoplasm in the sinks at the high school? Why is slightly-renowned podcaster Suzette Sweet interviewing Tiff's aunt? What's with Denny's friend Jessie's cousins? And, most importantly, will the Mop Wizard ever make an appearance before the author inevitably gives up?

Something's in the water. Maybe it's someone.

(Quick note from the author: There's going to be a lot of weird and potentially bad stuff in this. At the time of writing this note, there's a lot of mentions and depictions of drownings, teen deaths, vomit, abuse and neglect, gore and violent deaths, and probably a few other things that are slipping my mind. Just keep that in mind, going into this.)
