Unwritten & Underwater by Amanda M. Lee
Avery Shaw is living the dream ... kind of.
She's officially moved to her dream house and her boyfriend Eliot Kane is making her host a housewarming party to show off the new digs to her family. All is going well - other than the endless arguments over food and hiding from Avery's family, of course - until one of Avery's enemies comes calling.
Avery's former boyfriend Jake Farrell broke up with Cara Carpenter weeks before but she's still stalking him ... and Avery in the process. When Cara turns up dead at a high-profile event, not only is Jake a suspect, but Avery and Eliot are, too.
The Michigan State Police wrestle the investigation from Jake, promptly turning Avery from the hunter to the hunted. The state police investigator assigned to the case is all up in Avery's business - and Avery is cracking under the pressure even as she insists on covering the case, much to almost everybody's chagrin.
From the stress associated with the new house, Grandpa's constant naked visits to the pool, and Eliot's insistence that Avery own up to something illegal, things are starting to get tense.
Avery is on her heels for a bit before starting to put the pieces together. When the truth comes out, though, the answers are welcome but the danger is not.
Can Avery survive to irritate everyone another day? Or will Michigan's favorite reporter finally succumb to a mouth she can't quite seem to control? Views: 5
