About Afloat:

Who will you trust when dark waters rise?

Eagle's Talon is an architectural marvel-shining residential units afloat in a protected cove of the gorgeous Rondeau River. The project is nearly complete, partially occupied, and ready to make investors rich when a sinkhole gives way. Then torrential rains and a flood leave a ragged collection of builders, investors, and residents stranded in one floating building, cut off from the rest of the world.
They're bitterly divided over what to do next.
Architect Vance Nolan insists they should sit tight and wait for rescue. Developer Tony Dean wants to strike out into the darkness. And single mom Danielle Clement, desperate to protect her young son, Simeon, struggles to hold their motley band together.
Power failure, a pall of unnatural daytime darkness, explosions in the distance, then a murder ratchet tensions to a boiling point. But Danielle's young son, Simeon, has spotted something strange underwater-beautiful, shifting lights in the dark water below.
In this watery world where everyone's secrets will eventually come to light, salvation may mean more than just getting out alive.
Another stunning exploration of the human spirit and supernatural possibilities from best-selling author Erin Healy.

My Review:
This book definitely starts out with a bang and makes you want to keep reading.  It is not my normal choice for genres, but I was not at all disappointed and will look into more of Erin Healy's books.  There is drama, action, excitement and some romance all while touching on interesting topics like angels, life and death. 
I recommend this book to anyone who already likes this kind of book, but I also recommend it to people who have never read this genre before.  You will not be disappointed.  This is not an easy book to put down as there continues to be twists and turns.
 
I received this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
