‘At Water’s Edge’ is book one in the ‘Water Rushes’ series.

Praise for Chapters One-Three of ‘At Water’s Edge’ by S. McPherson:

“Loved the teaser! It pulled me in and made me want to read more. Your writing style is clean, uncluttered and brimming with tension. Well done!”
“You got a lovely and interesting story,  hope to read more from you.”
“I liked it a lot! While I was reading it, I was able to be drawn into the story easily by your words. A stormy night like you were describing sets the perfect scene for a suspenseful fantasy novel.”
“I really enjoyed reading your first chapter. It was gripping. The descriptions are well written.”

 My Review

This is a very interesting book. After Dezaray loses her parents, she's struggling. And she also has dreams that turn out to be premonitions, and there's also a portal to a parallel world. Wow right! And there's of course a prince Charming, kinda. LOL And a great adventure, some “finding yourself moments” and a sweet romance. There's also a beautiful fantasy world that was built here. Oh, but it starts out oh so sad, with an abusive brother, and a devastating loss, and a little despair. Thank goodness for a little magic to make it better.

Dezaray, Milo, Nathaniel, and Dezaray's parallel twin, Lex, are such interesting characters. In the switch, Dezaray goes into the portal and Lex stays on Earth while the portal temporarily closes. So Dez has to make everyone believe she is her twin, and has magical powers. And Lex becomes attached to Nathaniel, which is Dez's earth prince. I know, I'm trying to explain without explaining spoilers. And think about it, if you didn't know what electricity or cable or phones were, you would be freaked out too. Oh and we can't forget about Dez's psycho brother.

The writing is well done, and I loved the characters, they are all full of depth and complexity, believable. But the world building was my favorite. I will say, I was a little disappointed with the ending, but I think it's because this is a series and we have to have something to look forward to in the next book. It's not a cliff hanger but it's not a full wrap up yet either. So with that said, I can't wait for book two. 4.5 MAGICAL PAWS!!
