It reminded me of a guy version of Cinderella with his evil stepsisters and good heart. I found Calder's voice interesting and different.

My favorite part of Lies Beneath is the male perspective. A lot of the choices Brown makes gives this book a refreshing facelift to the tried and used concepts surrounding the genre. Lies beneath is not the typical mermaid fairytale. Unfortunately Lilly Hancock isn't like any prey he's lured before and Calder won't know what's got it's hooks in him until it's too late. If Calder plays his role right, a part he's confidently played many times before, he'll receive the freedom he desires. And the only fair debt for a promise broken and the fate of their mother, is the death of Jason Hancock.

Though, his heart's not quite as into revenge as his marauding mermaid sisters' but a promise is a promise. One thing's for sure: Whatever Calder decides, the outcome won't be pretty.Ĭalder White has a score to settle. Easy enough, but Calder screws everything up by falling in love - just as Lily starts to suspect there's more to the monster-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined, and just as the mermaids threaten to take matters into their own hands, forcing Calder to choose between them and the girl he loves. Relying on his irresistible good looks and charm, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock's daughter Lily. Calder's job is to gain Hancock's trust by getting close to his family. It's going to take a concerted effort to lure the aquaphobic Hancock onto the water.

They want to kill Jason Hancock, the man they blame for their mother's death. Usually, they select their victims at random, but this time around, the underwater clan chooses its target for a reason: Revenge. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans and absorb their positive energy.
