Eureka promised her mother that she would never cry. But now her mother is dead, her best friend is possessed, and someone is stalking Eureka--someone who brings Eureka closer to tears than anyone before. Although underdeveloped character motivations jeopardize credibility, the plot--that Eureka's tears can raise Atlantis--is intriguing enough to keep readers turning the pages.

YA
Guilt-ridden after the accidental death of her sister, Corrine learns to manipulate electrical currents to restore life in sea creatures and to cure people of cancer. The arrival of Rennick, and their subsequent romance, encourages Corrine to come to terms with Sophie's death. While much of the plot unfolds predictably, the story's premise is original and the exploration of grief and healing is moving.
