Scorpion Deep. Scorpion Deep. Scorpion Deep. What would you do if you woke an eldritch sea god? If the sea called your name, would you wade into the water?

The sea town of Kelcarrow is rooted in sea myths and fables—most notably is the tale of the ancient creature called Scorpion Deep locked away in the ruins. Jonathan Covey, is a moody, misunderstood boy who needs someone who sees him, chooses him, never abandons him—and Scorpion Deep sinks his teeth into him in bloody claiming.

This story will grip you from the very beginning. You will feel Jonathan’s pain and trauma, his aching friendships with Ellis and Rae—tense and changing with the threat of college looming ever closer. You will feel the cold depths of the Atlantic Ocean and its hidden monsters. You will discover that there are tortuous, dark mysteries in Kelcarrow, and secrets locked away where no one can see. You will learn that love and hate go hand in hand, and what happens when a sea god’s devotion turns manic, crazed and brutal. How does Jonathan abandon this violent creature he loves, and who loves him back?

CG Drews is brutal in their storytelling, and isn’t afraid to cause devastation for readers—something that I find unique. After reading several of their novels, I still find each story endlessly entertaining and the plots so rich with creativity. CG Drews will have you tearing through pages to see what’s next and will leave you questioning everything by the end.

P.S. -Scorpion Deep has a lot of body horror and gore, so please keep that in mind!
