Kids, students, and life-long readers,

DISCLAIMER - This book talk is for the second book in a series.  If you have not read the first book, I highly recommend you do not read this book talk as it will reveal what may have happened to characters from the first book.  The first book is entitled BENEATH by Roland Smith.




Alright, everyone, our main characters are back, Pat, Coop, and Kate, but they are still on the run from the Shadows.  After telling their story to the FBI, Alex, sends them off to different parts of the country to shake off any of the Shadows that might be following them.  The plot picks up when they all meet together in Oregon to fill everyone in on what has been happening, but it doesn't take long for the Shadows to find them and Kate is taken captive.  Coop, Pat, and Alex are on the hunt down the western coast to try and find Kate before Lod follows through with his new master plan.  That's right, the Lord of the Deep is back, and he has a new diabolical plan.

The main part of the book is the chase, but the author leaves many clues and questions for the reader to try and figure out and let's just say not everyone should be trusted.  This book should also answer any questions that you had from the first book in the series, BENEATH.  If you liked the first book, you should definitely read the second book to see if Pat and Coop can make it in time, will Kate survive after her betrayal, who will betray them this time, and can they stop Lod in time.
