Marlowe will do anything for a taste of revenge—even if it means returning to Camp Atonement.
Haunted by nine years of entanglements with a pious woman and chasing knife-edged solutions to her anger, Marlowe meets her on the lake for a final tryst.
Their night unravels when a creature from the depths begins hunting them. Abandoned again, Marlowe feeds the resentment crawling under her skin since that one summer.
But escape brings with it a heavy price—her chance at easy retribution is gone, and the monster’s sharp teeth and webbed hands breed a terrible thirst she can’t ignore.
Caught between rotten feelings and a lustful truce, Marlowe must find a way to sate the creature’s hunger and destroy the relentless woman from her past before she ruins Marlowe’s future.
