RISING WATERS
Aleatha Romig
Release Date June 15
AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED
A dark atmospheric psychological thriller packed with small-town secrets, buried trauma, and shocking twists.
She escaped her past—and the man she never forgot.
Now with two girls gone missing, she's pulled back into a deadly game she may not survive.
Jillian Thorne built her career making the unreal feel real.
On Hollywood soundstages, she stages murder, kidnapping, and violent crime with chilling authenticity—turning fiction into gripping entertainment.
But nothing she’s created compares to the truth waiting in Blue Gil.
Nearly six years after escaping her small hometown, Jillian is drawn back by the suspicious death of the town’s beloved high school football coach. What first appears to be a tragic loss quickly unravels into something far more sinister—a dark mystery no one is willing to confront.
Because in Blue Gil, secrets aren’t just buried… they’re protected.
As disturbing clues surface and a brutal tragedy strikes dangerously close to home, Jillian finds herself trapped inside a real-life psychological thriller. The instincts that made her successful in Hollywood may be the key to solving the crime—or the very thing clouding her judgment.
Everyone in this small town is hiding something.
Including Jillian.
To uncover the truth, she must break through an unspoken code of silence, deception, and loyalty—and face the past she thought she left behind. Because some secrets refuse to stay buried.
And in this twisted game of suspense, trusting the wrong person could be deadly.

No one loves a small town thriller like this girl right here. It's been a while since I've read anything from Aleatha Romig and she still has the ability to suck her readers in. From beginning to end, my mind was a merry go round of who was the real killer and what secrets refused to stay buried and through it all, I still got it wrong!
It's been six years since Jillian Thorne has stepped foot into her small town of Blue Gil but when a beloved high school football coach is found dead, she makes her way back home. On the surface, everything looks the same and although the town is in mourning, something doesn't feel right to her. Deciding to do some investigating on her own, Jillian learns that there is much more to her small town than she could've ever imagined. There's something sinister going on in Blue Gil and there's a killer on the loose who has no intention of slowing down.
Despite a few hiccups, I really did enjoy most of the story and if you're a fan of this author and love psychological thrillers, you may want to give this one a try.
