About Saltwater Secrets
Saltwater Secrets
Some secrets don’t drown—they wait.
Samantha MacLeod leaves behind her unraveling life in Scotland to visit a childhood friend on a remote Caribbean island. But the reunion is anything but peaceful. David’s eccentric family lives in an eerie, salt-bleached estate full of locked doors, ritual silences, and whispered warnings. And the island itself feels… alive.
When Samantha begins to experience vivid hallucinations and encounters churches that only appear after dark, she realizes the island is hiding something ancient. Locals won’t speak of “the Mouth,” but the sea knows her name—and it’s calling her.
A seductive boat captain with ties to an occult church. A dead man who returns to warn his son. A sister who’s been baptized more than once—and remembers lives she shouldn’t.
As her sanity frays and her blood begins to change, Samantha must decide: is she being haunted, hunted, or reborn?
Saltwater Secrets is the haunting first installment in a supernatural thriller trilogy that explores ancestral memory, dark seduction, and the terrifying power of a place that remembers everything.
A psychological thriller drenched in folklore, sensuality, and slow-building dread, Saltwater Secrets is the first in a chilling trilogy where the island itself is a living lie—and remembering might be more dangerous than forgetting.
Fans of The Silent Patient, Mexican Gothic, and The Ritual will be pulled into this slow-burning, salt-soaked mystery—and left gasping at its final page.
