United States of Scare The Water Babies Whispering Lake: 4

Ronan O'Connor had one goal for summer vacation: survive the long car ride, dodge awkward family photos, and stay as far away from deep water as possible. Pine Hollow, Nevada, seemed harmless enough, a cozy cabin, killer pancakes, and some silly local legend about "Water Babies" lurking beneath Whispering Lake.Ronan doesn't believe the legend.Until the whispers start. Soft. Wet. Calling Liam's name across the dark water at night. Then, pale, blue-tinged shapes crawl onto the old wooden dock under the moonlight. Webbed fingers leave dripping handprints on the ceiling right above his little brother's bed... and Liam's toys rearrange themselves into creepy battle formations pointing straight at him.Ronan turns to his new lake cabin neighbors, the creepy, clown-painted Penny and the cowboy-hatted wise-cracking Rick, sibling stars of Based on a True Scare podcast, for help. Together, they dig into the town's past and discover there is more to the town than anyone wants to admit.For centuries, kids have vanished beneath the lake but they aren't really gone. They come back changed. Pale, blueish, smiling with too many teeth and whispering for new playmates to join them...forever.Ronan, Penny, Rick and Liam, armed with a mountain of ridiculous monster-hunting gear, team-up with a shockingly massive global livestream audience, and a creepy corny mountain hermit nursing a two-hundred year old grudge, to take on the terrifying creatures under the lake before Liam gets dragged down for an eternal underwater playdate.Reader beware...Whatever you do, don't read this near the water after dark. You might hear splashing. You might hear whispering. And if something calls your name?Don't answer.
