This touching story of a troubled young girl who learned to appreciate life again is one of those reads that takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster along with its characters. The trauma of the death of her sister leaves Brandi and her family off balance, still scarred and not quite healed from their loss. One night, at a party that got out of control when a fire was accidentally started, Brandi witnesses a man come out of the water and rush into the raging inferno and rescue a young girl from certain death. From that moment on, her life will take a turn beyond her wildest imagination. The Twilight Swimmer by A. C. Kavich is part romance, part fantasy, part mystery and part coming of age all blended into one well-written novel! Who or what is this mysterious creature who is as drawn to Brandi as she is to him? He consumes her thoughts as she tries to get to know more about him and is willing to risk whatever it takes to keep him safe, but is knowing her dangerous for his existence, or could he be a key to unlocking how and why her sister died?A.C. Kavich has done an amazing job of creating a beautiful story of healing, family relationships and young infatuation while setting a smooth pace that has peaks of intensity and drama that add perfectly to this tale. The characters felt very real, filled with emotional depth, personality and individuality. Most amazing were the final pages that not only wrapped the story well, but made a refreshingly surprising ending that I never saw coming, but when it hit it felt just right! Brilliant creativity! Wonderful reading!
