Book Review

The waters are beautiful, but that beauty hides a darkness beneath the waves. It calls to a group of friends, to sink below and become something other, something evil, something to claim them forever.
The work is an erotic horror mystery with overall tepid heat that runs through the work being punctuated at points by flashes of seduction and transformation. There are very strong hints of possession, mind control and domination as well which overall serve to add an air of tension over the characters as events unfold.
There is a hint of something close to a succubus transformation or possession at times, though it might be best to say that the female characters that are taken by the lake’s powers become seductresses with a singular purpose, one of which is fully possessed by an evil that has a very succubus-like appearance to them.
