How does a happy, na?ve 14 year old girl become an agent for Death and Justice?
"It's said that bad memories prepare you for life. If so, we're ready. If I hadn't met Silas, I wouldn't have any memories any different than any ordinary girl. If I hadn't met Silas, there's a good chance I'd be dead. Funny how things work out."
Beth Portman
"Girl At Sea is a beautiful, dark, but ultimately triumphant book about recognizing evil that exists within some people, but also accepting the goodness that can be found through genuine friendship, lovers, and family. Only then can the albatross fall from our necks and we can truly be free." -- Julie Sara Porter: Bookworm Reviews - https: //bit.ly/32I3T4h
After Beth Portman, a normal, happy, 14 year-old loses her parents to a suspicious fire, she stays with her best friend Judy and her dominating father until Judy sends her away. Beth reunites with her sailing mentor and close family friend, Silas Tuft 45, aboard his sailboat. Silas, an ex-SEAL, still blames himself for the death of his wife and daughter. Together, Beth and Silas head into the Pacific Ocean seeking solace and peace.
The two are natural shipmates. Along the way they find love and a new home. But, as always, Death has its way and grief drives them to wander the sea, like Ancient Mariners searching for a port. In the Philippines Beth's dark side is forced to emerge; in Australia Beth thinks she may have broken the curse that follows her and Silas - She's wrong.
"Between gripping action scenes and engrossing character development, I was hard-pressed to put this incredible story down." Kayla C Reviews -- https: //bit.ly/35LBmvr
Beth and Silas finally understand Death's plan for them when Judy runs away and joins them, pursued by her cruel father. However, their journey is not over. In a magical jungle, Beth faces down a primordial spirit; in Hong Kong she endures one more painful test of her will. Surviving, Beth is no longer a happy-go-lucky girl of 14.
She and Silas then prepare for the grim act of revenge, atonement, justice, or murder that will set them free of their guilt and grief.
"The plot includes a balanced proportion of suspense, joy, grief, humor, horror, and adventure, thus making this one a perfect read for urban fantasy thriller enthusiasts." -- THE SCRIBBLER'S REFUGE ---https: //bit.ly/3xDk13C
