The Edge of the Water

Written by Elizabeth George

A mysterious girl who won’t speak, a coal-black seal named Nera that returns to the same place every year, a bitter feud of unknown origin—strange things are happening on Whidbey Island, and Becca King is drawn into the maelstrom of events.

But Becca, first met in The Edge of Nowhere, has her own secrets to hide. Still on the run from her criminal stepfather, Becca is living in a hidden location. Even Derric, the Ugandan orphan with whom Becca shares a close, romantic relationship, can’t be allowed to know her whereabouts.

As secrets of past and present are revealed, Becca becomes aware of her growing paranormal powers, and events build to a shocking climax anticipated by no one.

Acclaimed author Elizabeth George brings her extraordinary talents to this intriguing story that blends mystery and myth.

At the halfway point, I'm still trying to decide if this is a murder mystery, a wanna-be paranormal mystery (selkies?) or an adoption mystery. I really don't care for any of the angles because it is taking too long to get to the point.

Awful -- why did I even read this? She has every single character use the expression "As if" -- which I have not heard another live human say since 1996. Also, she turns "can" into a contraction: "c'n." Imagine "c'n" in every other sentence.
