Body of Water by @adamgodfreyauthor.bsky.social

"A genuinely moving father–daughter re-bonding tale submerged in a terrifying story of living bloodthirsty water, not so much a creature feature as a water feature, and a nail-bitingly tense and inventive one at that."

REVIEW: Body of Water by Adam Godfrey

Body of Water is a genuinely moving father–daughter re-bonding tale submerged in a terrifying story of living bloodthirsty water

What would you do if the water around you became a living entity and it was only interested in killing you? This book is a thrill ride straight from the beginning. @adamgodfreyauthor.bsky.social brings us a scary, emotional story and that twist at the end? Fantastic. This one is a winner!! #books

It’s the only reason they’re in politics.
