My book talk<\/strong>: The curse that followed Delaney out of Falcon Lake must be real – which friend will it touch by death next?<\/p>\n

Decker loves Delaney too much to believe in the curse, even if she can sense death coming after escaping the lake’s icy waters. But can he keep loving her when she keeps silent instead of keeping death away?<\/p>\n

The new girl Maya has to cope with her ill mother alone, Janna misses her dead twin Carson, and Delaney now must face the superstitious without Decker’s strength beside her.<\/p>\n

Water accidents at home and away,
\nMasquerade mix-ups gone deadly,
\nWill any of their senior class escape the Falcon Lake curse?<\/p>\n

This sequel to Fracture<\/em> spends a hot, tense summer with Delaney and friends as the cold, deep lake broods over their small Maine town.\u00a0 (One of 6,000 books recommended on www.abookandahug.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
