Beneath

From USA TODAY bestselling author Maureen A. Miller comes this young adult adventure that will plunge you deep into the Atlantic Ocean.

It was Stella Gullaksen’s final break before starting her freshman year at college. Joining her best friend, Jill, and Jill’s family aboard the STARKISSED, Stella wakes to a violent storm that capsizes the boat over a hundred miles off the New Jersey shore.

As the waves haul her under Stella knows that she is going to die. Instead, an unusual current drags her deep into the underwater canyons of the Atlantic Ocean. Powerless against the raging waters, she is suddenly sucked into a ventilated cave. One by one, Jill and her family also emerge into the sunken cavern.

With only a faulty diving flashlight to keep oblivion at bay Stella and her best friend’s brother, Colin, search the cave in hope of finding a way back to the surface. What they discover, however, is that they are not alone. There are other survivors in this subterranean grotto–survivors spanning decades of maritime disasters.

Will this discovery prove salvation, or have they all been condemned to the same fate? A grim finale at the bottom of the sea?

On an alliance forged by friendship and attraction, Stella and Colin battle to escape the danger that lies beneath.

Blood Forest

A young American couple conducting an aerial survey of central Africa is shot down by hostile militia in a dense region of the Congo. With their attackers in pursuit, Brandon and Samantha are pushed deeper and deeper into the forest, to a place so terrifying that even the local Mbuti refuse to enter.

The pair soon discovers another party is risking the dangers of the jungle, seeking a rare flower with vast medical potential. As the two groups combine forces against the genocidal militia, the Blood Forest holds them all with a secret that is more complex and sinister than any of them realize.

“This forest has a pulse.
It beats in my chest.
I can see it in the eyes of the beasts.
Together, we move to this rhythm.
It calls to us. It calls for blood.”

…..Run.

That’s all I can think. I plunge through the woods, around trees, lost in my fear. I am not sure of my direction, and I don’t care. Home is somewhere in front of me.

I finally have to stop, to catch my breath, bend over gasping. I look behind me, search for what chases me. I see nothing.

Nothing there, you silly girl.

I dig my phone out of my pocket, not sure who I plan on calling, but comforted by the possible connection. I still don’t see anything through the thick greenery.

Something crashes behind me.

Most likely just a branch falling, I tell myself. My feet have other plans and run again.

The creek opens before me, and I hurry to cross it, the border to home. I slip in the mud, my bare feet sliding through the muck. I was careful coming across earlier, I am a wild animal now. My foot catches on a root, and I tumble forward and land with a splash, my face in the water and muck.

I can’t breathe. Panicked, I push up to reach the air. The muck is thick and heavy and holds me down. The thick weeds tangle my hands. Frantic, I push hard and reach air. I suck it in greedily, still on my hands and knees, water dripping from my face.

Sharp, hot pain shoots up my leg from my twisted ankle. I don’t move from my hands and knees, just close my eyes and wait for the sharp bite to pass.

As the pain fades to bearable, my senses come back to me.

I smell him before I see him…..
