Through the Surface

By: Juliet Rose

Narrated by: Billy Ray Middleton Jr.

Two tragedies a few months apart and multiple states away from each other leaves four people dead, with one fighting for their life. As a result, this uproots the lives of teenagers Ledger Elliot and Iris Brubaker, who know nothing of each other. Fifteen years later, their paths cross when Iris moves to the small Maine island Ledger has lived on his whole life. After her grandmother's death, Iris inherited a lodge on the island and intends to reopen it as a hotel.

Unbeknownst to Ledger and Iris, their lives are about to collide, and their dark pasts will come to haunt them with the help of the history and possession of the lodge. Through an unexplainable draw, they are cast together and find themselves fighting for their lives and the protection of the island residents against unseen foes. Demonic forces which followed them from their pasts are determined to take over the lodge and reopen a portal to hell. Through this battle, Ledger and Iris discover they were sent to stop one another, yet through their connection, unleash a power they'd never known existed.

A story of good vs evil, small town secrets, and unexpected love.

Juliet Rose writes in a style that grabs you quickly and makes you stay to see what happens. Psychological with supernatural horror. Island bound and claustrophobic, You'll feel everything the characters feel and you will feel for all the players. What you feel will vary, but you'll cheer for some... and, um, not so much for others.

I can't say I was a fan of the narrator, but that's possibly my preference.

A compelling story with a satisfying ended. I highly recommend it!

Unique and interesting story!!

This is a very interesting and unique story.
It has mystery, thrills and some supernatural chills!
Ledger and Iris are on an island full of evil from the past and present. There are demonic forces pulling at them and the challenge is to see if they can move past it together.
This is my first book from this author and I’m looking forward to reading more of her books! This story is very well written!

I listened to the audio version and I wasn’t completely sold on the narrator, but he still did a decent job. It was a fast listen/read, as I found the story very exciting and engaging.

If you haven’t read this one, definitely check it out!
