Beneath The Surface Shaunna Rodriguez

A weekend getaway to the lake takes an unexpected turn. There's a chill in the air, fog over the lake in the middle of July and puddles of water that appear out of nowhere...... Hayden Carter can't shake the sick, twisted feeling in the pit of her stomach that something evil was lurking amongst them. Whatever this threat was, wasn't coming.... It was already there. In the eighteen hundreds, the lake house overlooking the serene, beautiful Lake Lugano was owned by the Carter family. It was said that the women in the family were witches, though it really couldn't be proven. However, to make sure that everyone in the town understood that nothing like this would be tolerated, Delila, a girl who was fifteen at the time, was taken from the Carter home. She was bound at the wrists and dragged through the woods, then hung from a tree and burned alive. Her body was left for all to see for about a week. When several men of the town went to remove her body and dispose of it, she had vanished and with her any traces that she'd ever been there.
