He was trying to kill her, too... Malory Shoemaker finally feels like she's escaped her old life. Her tiny dorm room at Florida East Coast University is a substantial upgrade from the beat-up trailer she's lived in since her mom died, and though she sometimes still hears her father's whispers in her mind, she's excelling at school, making new friends, and has even attracted a handsome, enigmatic admirer. But when her new love interest begins to reveal his more unsavory appetites, Malory finds herself a hapless participant in a sick game that forces her to confront her own inner demons. As the game intensifies, so do the whispers in Malory's head. Now she must decide: accept the fate she has always believed inevitable, or risk abandonment by the only person who ever made her feel like she was worth fighting for. But how do you let love in when the only thing that feels right is pain? At times erotic, at times disturbing, and at times both at once, Red Water slithers under your skin with its dark, unflinching examination of the psychology of self-loathing and the secret, unspeakable lust for depravity that lies dormant within us all.
