About this book

Promise, Michigan looks like an idyllic lakeside retreat, but beneath its calm surface lies a chilling secret. Years ago, a reckless birthday dare on a cursed island bound two young lovers to a dark supernatural entity. What began as a heartfelt vow of eternity has curdled into a haunting nightmare that refuses to stay buried, proving that some promises are better left unmade.

Five years after a tragic loss, Bret returns to his hometown to mend his shattered heart. However, peace remains elusive as a string of brutal, inexplicable murders terrorizes the community. Forced into uneasy proximity with FBI agent Jeff McAllister, Bret must confront the past to stop a vengeful force that is systematically hunting the town’s residents. As the investigation deepens, the line between the living and the dead blurs, leaving them both vulnerable to an ancient, malevolent spirit.

This atmospheric paranormal romance masterfully blends spine-tingling suspense with deep emotional resonance. Fans of the ghost genre will be captivated by the eerie world-building and the intense, high-stakes forced-proximity dynamic that pushes the characters to their breaking points. Prepare for a haunting journey where secrets never truly die, and the water is never as still as it seems.

Another Great Read From F.E. Feeley Jr.

April 30, 2015

***** Stars! Anyone out there who reads my reviews know that I LOVE books that make me \"feel\". F.E. Feeley has the wonderful talent to write books that always make me feel :) This is the story of the aftermath and consequences of the death of state-champion swimmer Adam and what happens to those left behind, not the least is his boyfriend/fiance Bret.

Spookiest one yet, but so much more than that.

Spookiest one yet, but so much more than that. With each book, the writing gets better and better. There were so many different elements in this one than the previous two, but it absolutely worked so well. I hate to give spoilers away in my reviews, but I just have to say that the Native American element to this one was very cool to read. It was well written and respectful IMO, but adding in the legend and the blessing/curse aspect of the island makes it even more scary, but totally in a good...

April 25, 2016

\"Still Waters\" is a masterfully written paranormal thriller. The combined lives of Adam and Bret took me in from the very first page and didn't let me go. What is it that make a secret promise turn into such a breathtaking novel? F. E. Feeley jr. shows you. He tangles the webs of connection between two truly loving and caring main characters artfully into the fulfillment of a curse so terrible, I caught myself holding my breath more than once during the read.
