Fear the Drowning Deep by Sarah Glenn Marsh (2016)
All Bridey wants is to leave the tiny island she grew up on, even if that means leaving behind her family. Almost nothing in her community ever happens, that is, until a body shows up on the beach, mangled with no information about the cause of death. For Bridey, all this does is give her more certainty that she needs to leave and go to America, which is not the easiest in the early 1900s. Not wanting to be stuck for any longer, Bridey takes a job for the rumored town “witch”, which then creates a whole new set of rumors that follow her. Then, on a trip to the beach to gather an ingredient, Bridey finds a boy barely clinging on to life with gashes across his body. In an unintentional heroic act, Bridey saves him, and when his memory fails, gives him the name Fynn. Slowly, she and Fynn build a bond, one that doesn’t seem to be breaking anytime soon. But, while Fynn and Bridey are getting closer and closer, citizens of the town are going missing, and everyone is placing the blame on Fyn...
