Flood

by Maria Quinn

April has enough on her plate trying to navigate life and school with mental illness, so how did she end up falling in love with her enemy—a cop who's arrested her multiple times? She just wanted to escape her small town, be normal, start over, yet at every turn, she is plagued by obstacles and unbeknownst to her, a serial killer. How did her life end up so tangled? And tangled in ghosts, bitches, and murder at that?

Flood is a story that captures the struggles of mental illness, love and loss, a dark obsession, and a touch of the paranormal.

Good story, if confusingly written

I liked the story, though it does leave you feeling a bit confused between what is real or not, though this does help you empathise with the main character, April.

Unfortunately I found that there were a number of typos, formatting issues, missing words or just wrong words to make this as enjoyable as it could be. Also it is ended with a Prologue which should be titled Epilogue.
