[Multiple POVs.]
Summer in Halev never feels dangerous. That's the problem. Asia Valeriz, Rowan Dagner, and Yvani Solás spend their days killing time, arguing, laughing, sleepovers at Yvani's house, because they always have. Nothing bad happens. Until it does. People disappear.
The forest stays quiet.
And something begins to watch.
Told through shifting perspectives, The Water starts with humor and familiarity before sinking into dread, where not everyone sees the same things, and not everyone gets a warning.
Some places remember people.
Ashwood remembers everything.
A girl discovers she had a twin who mysteriously disappeared years ago. No one will talk about it, and every time she tries to dig deeper, things around her start to change like she's not supposed to remember at all.
