Salt Water Blood

Eighteen-year-old Moe hears the sea’s prophetic thoughts. Not just hears them-she feels them. That’s how she experienced her father’s death before he died and how she felt her mother’s relief when she abandoned Moe and her younger brother, Tao, months later.

So when the sea warns Moe that Tao will drown, she’s determined to get in fate’s way and soon secures them a way off their island home. But those plans are ruined when Tao’s girlfriend goes missing and Tao is found where she was last seen … with blood on his hands-and no memory of what happened.

Moe will do anything she can to clear her brother’s name, even if it means swallowing her pride and teaming up with her annoyingly clever school rival, Temanea. Even if it means relying on the sea’s prophecies.

Because her dreaded gift may be the only way to save her brother-and uncover a sickness lurking in their community before it poisons them all.
