"Then I killed him. I drowned him in the ocean."
This book is heart-breaking, thrilling, and very romantic. Ripple is about a high school girl named Lexi. She has a terrible curse, she has to go to a secret lake high in the mountains a swim in it every night. Her father left her and her mother, and shortly after her mother killed herself. Her curse started when she was 16 years old when she swam with her first love Steven. When they went swimming Lexi started to sing, and she drowned Steven. From that day forward she shut out all her friends for their protection.
About a year later Steven friend Cole, try's to break her walls. Sienna is was her friend, but ever since her brother Steven's death she lead a group of kids to torment Lexi. Lexi learns the only way to break her curse is do the one thing she hasn't done in a long time, fall in love. Can love conquer a curse that could kill her true love?
Lexi is a beautiful teenage girl who lives in Florida with a dark secret. The water calls to her, draws her in, forces her to sing a deadly song to unsuspecting victims. She shuts herself off refusing to make friends or fall in love, again. She doesn't know what she is or why she is has to swim or suffer through an unbearable, painful day.
