Reka's Grasp

Grad school applications are Nikita Baird's biggest problem—until a friend dies in her arms after a sinister accident. Rusalka and Baba Yaga are just fairy tales—until they aren't. Soon Niki can't deny the truth. Something inhuman lurks in the river. Worse, her own roommate just might be the killer. Ryan Fortner, Crypto Division, has worked alone since his partner died on their last case together. Now, he needs Niki's help, even if he doesn't want it. Together they plunge into a realm of shrouded histories, dredging up more than just folklore. Niki and Ryan must navigate the currents of myth, tragedy, and redemption to stop the drownings—before the river's grasp can't be broken.
