But when Gavin Hunter, a Surface Dweller, accidentally stumbles into their secluded little world, she’s forced to come to a startling realization: everything she knows is a lie. Her memories have been altered. Her mind and body aren’t under her own control. And the person she knows as Mother is a monster.

Okay. Yeah. You had me at underwater utopia. Can't wait!
What are you waiting on?
The first half of the summary is very cliched but I was hooked on "Her Memories have been altered." I wonder what happened.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's like it's written from a standard template, but I think it's got a good premise!
