The Devil's Shallows
Debra Castaneda
Eight miles of mystery. One night of terror. Residents trapped in a remote neighborhood confront the unimaginable in this horror novel from award-winning author Debra Castaneda. The salt marsh at Devil’s Landing is home to a terrifying urban legend. Adam Gray knows the old stories about the Slough Devil, the missing children, and the mutilated animals. But the naturalist and wilderness survival expert doesn’t believe in monsters. Not even when a tourist on his boat sees a strange creature in the tidal channel and captures it on video. When Adam moves into a controversial housing development next to the marsh, shocking new evidence emerges, and it’s not long before he’s confronted with a series of horrifying and unexplained events. It takes Christina, his feisty new neighbor, to get him to believe something lurks in the slough. Something disturbed by the new community. When a massive storm maroons the residents, Adam and Christina find themselves trapped and tested in a fight for their lives.

So good!
The Devils Shallows takes place in the central coast of California marsh lands and the atmosphere is eerie and creepy. There's a mysterious creature that visitors and locals have seen through the years living in the trees and slipping into the water. People start going missing in the new developed community that is completely cut off from society(no phones or internet).
A giant storm hits and things only get worse.
I couldn't put it down I kept finding an excuse to sneak reading into my day. It played out like a movie. I hate being alone and the thought of being isolated from the rest of the world really sends a chill down my spine. The characters were fun and well developed and definitely grew attached to some of the neighbors.
I definitely recommend!
