FATHOM SYNOPSIS:
Everything is changing . . .
Turning sixteen can be hell,
especially if everyone in town thinks your mother killed herself and your
sister. All Kira Callahan wants to do is swim, hang out with her best friend,
Sean, and ignore the kids who torment her at school. That is, until one day
when she gets invited to a party. For three minutes her life is wonderful—she
even kisses Sean. Then somebody spikes her drink and some girls from out of
town lure her into the ocean and hold her underwater.
Kira soon discovers that the
group of wild teenagers who have come to visit Crescent Moon Bay are not as
innocent as they seem. In fact, nothing is as it seems—not the mysterious
deaths of her sister or her mother, not her heritage, not even her best friend.
And everything seems to hinge on the ancient Celtic legends that her mother
used to tell her as a child.
Bio:
With twenty years’
experience in publishing, Merrie Destefano left a 9-to-5 desk job as the editor
of Victorian Homes magazine to become
a full-time novelist. Her first two novels, Afterlife:
The Resurrection Chronicles and Feast:
Harvest of Dreams were published by HarperVoyager. Fathom is both her first YA novel and her first indie published
novel. When
not writing, she loves to camp in the mountains, walk on the beach, watch old
movies and listen to alternative music—although rarely all at the same time. Born in the Midwest, she now lives in Southern
California with her husband, their two German shepherds and a Siamese cat.

Thanks for sharing. I love the cover! I'm off to investigate a little further before I make up my mind as to whether I should add it onto my pile.
