Calder White lives in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans, killing them to absorb their energy. But this summer the underwater clan targets Jason Hancock out of pure revenge. They blame Hancock for their mother's death and have been waiting a long time for him to return to his family's homestead on the lake. Hancock has a fear of water, so to lure him in, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock's daughter, Lily. Easy enough—especially as Calder has lots of practice using his irresistible good looks and charm on unsuspecting girls. Only this time Calder screws everything up: he falls for Lily—just as Lily starts to suspect that there's more to the monsters-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined. And just as his sisters are losing patience with him.
Dark,
Heart -pounding, frightening, fascinating and completely
engrossing! Anne Greenwood Brown is a new Author for me. This is the 1st book
of hers that I have read and it enthralls! Beautiful Cover Art, eye-catching yet Deadly! That’s “Lies Beneath” in a nutshell.
His adopted family has always raised Calder White
with one thing etched in his mind. Revenge! Kill! Kill! Kill Jason Hancock!
The whites have spent the larger part of their
lives planning the brutal death of Jason Hancock! They spent decades stalking his old family’s house to no
avail …then one day the Hancock’s moved back into town and finally the Whites
would have their revenge!
Mayrice, Pav and Lulu are three of four mermaids
they’re beautiful but deadly! Soulless really! Let's just say they’re nothing
like Ariel… and the fourth? He's a
merman, Calder. Calder White is
the foundation of operation kill Hancock plan… His prize? Freedom… Whose?
The plan was simple… really… seduce one of the Hancock’s daughters,
get closer to Jason, bring him to the lake and we’d kill him… “it was because of him… it was his fault
that our…”
Except, Calder didn’t plan for Lily.
Lily Hancock was nothing Calder expected. She was kind, warm, optimistic,
conversational, pretty and there was something about her. Mer- people are known
for their coldness and cruelty yet; Lily stirs something inside him that Calder
couldn't fathom! All too soon he was happy he could produce his own emotions
rather than stealing emotions from humans by drowning them at the bottom of the
lake. His happiness is laced with fear and anxiety though, because his sisters
wants Lily’s father dead! The worst part? Calder is now thinking of saving
Jason instead of …well managing his killing project! In the end??? It wasn’t
pretty!
The
surprise was jaw dropping, Lies, betrayal, heartbreak and freedom! This book is
dark and deadly, it didn’t have a happily ever after yet I can't wait for the
sequel Deep Betrayal and the only thought in my mind, is what now? Okay that
was two! Case in point… creepy, but
a very good book.
I
love the world Greenwood has created; her portrayal of Mermaid wasn’t all
romance… it was scary yet alluring… I love the storyline, the way it unfolds,
the hero, Calder and his Lily, the tension and the thrill, the fact that their
budding relationship is being fashioned on a knife’s-edge! The stolen kisses,
the humor and the heart-wincing conclusion. Spectacular!

I don't really like books with an unhappy ending, but this book has always intrigued me and that feeling has only grown after reading your review. I guess this will have to be my exception...
