*Editing* #1 mystery in the Rising Gem Awards #2 mystery in the Hidden Gem Awards #3 mystery in the Rising Author Awards The unbelievably narcissistic FBI Agent Quinn Jones is a veteran investigator when it comes to the strange and occult, but he prefers his assignments to be out of the ordinary. Several deaths on a quiet beach and one grisly murder out at sea don't seem related, but when they start to hit too close to home he will have to rely on the brains of Doctor Robyn Bourke, a sassy marine biologist, to make heads or tails of the fishy situation. Their strong personalities collide as the mystery deepens, and it becomes apparent that there are forces beyond their wildest imagination at work. Can they stand each other long enough to solve the case, or will Mother Nature get the best of them?

Loved it! Your style is so lovely and dark at the same time. My favorite part was of the little minnows. It painted such an eerie vision. Enchanting. Well done! @Pixee_Styx I'd be lying if I say this book did not take my breath away. The writing is just elegantly morose and each paragraphs are punctuated with a poetic feel. It's beauty is almost dizzying. @fraulein_elle The Maggies is such a brilliant book that I went to the comment section to write something but I was so speechless after reading this that I couldn't find words. I haven't read such a good book for a long time! Thanks for writing this masterpiece. @MFOshin I read this and already kind of guessed what's happening but when I read the explanation. Oh. My. God. My heart died. And tears in my eyes. This is such a beautifully written short story that I can't fathom how such a story can hit your feels so hard. But this did. This is amazingly haunting and chilling and yet depressing and sad at the same time. I'm in love with everything about it. This is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read. @KrystalM

During a massive drought, a Water Witcher goes trekking across several states to visit a friend but finds himself in danger when a group called The Hounds begins hunting him down. 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 1 ~ 🅦🅐🅣🅔🅡 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 Corbin has been witching water since he was a young boy. It's a skill his grandfather taught him to survive living in a time of thirst. He also taught him never to venture farther than their property because the world had become too dangerous with people fighting over water. As an adult, however, he finds himself alone. The home he once shared with his grandfather feels more like an empty shell with echoes of memories. Deciding to head for the road to visit a friend, he sets out to wander what's practically become a wasteland. Except, he soon discovers that since his last adventure north, Water Witchers are being captured and sold to high bidders by a group called The Hounds. With his friend Coyote living up north, a few states away, he'll have to figure out how to get there safely, but it won't be easy with danger at every turn. * * 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧: ~Editor's Pick - Oct 7, 2022~ @Wattpad - Adrenaline Rush @WattpadExplorer - Adrenaline Rush @WattpadDarkFantasy @Adventure - Featured Stories @Fantasy - Featured Fantasy @Mystery Featured Mystery @Adultfiction - Featured Adult Fiction @Action - Featured Action Stories

🅦🅐🅣🅣🅨🅢 ➋⓿➊➑ 🅢🅗🅞🅡🅣🅛🅘🅢🅣 (𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 2) **Incomplete/on hold** During a terrible nationwide drought, desert--land stretches as far as the eye can see. Corbin is a Water Witcher, who can sense and find water beneath the ground, but doesn't advertise it due to fear of being enslaved for government purposes. Drifting through the wasteland, he runs into a pair of siblings desperate to survive and learns that first impressions are deceiving. Especially Everleigh. There's a child-like innocence about her, yet she shows zero hesitation in murdering a desert thief. Thanks to past betrayals, Corbin keeps to himself, but a barbaric new law forces him to step out of his comfort zone. There are ways around this law, some are legal, but most are not. Either way, he's is not losing sight of the two siblings and will even risk revealing his gift of water witching if it means helping them. Limits are tested, loyalty is questioned, and trust becomes fragile, but if there is one thing threading their lives together, it's the determination to survive living in a time of thirst. ♡♡ What the critics are saying ♡♡ "I just wanted to tell you that your first chapter was one of the best intro chapters I've read on Wattpad.
