Description: "Only weeks ago, Avery pulled her best friend Key from ... deadly black water. The cycle from her family's Kanyen'kehâa ka (Mohawk) stories is finally broken, the black water is now a harmless lake, and her problems are far from supernatural. All Avery wants is a normal summer with Key, her now-boyfriend. The trauma, however, casts a long shadow over the town. Some victims never returned. Terrifying memories threaten to resurface, but Avery pushes them down. Who she's really worried about is Key. The two are supposed to be closer than ever--so why does he feel so distant? Wracked by anxiety, Avery begins to see a chilling reflection in every mirror, one that moves on its own--and she's not the only one"--
Brief description:
