They’re beautiful. They’re alluring. But don’t get too close. The women of the sea are starving…★★★★★ “Gills carried me away and kept me not just entertained, but delighted and moved. And scared. I wish I could read it again for the very first time and that’s the highest praise I can give a novel.” – Taig, Amazon ReviewerGeorgia Woodrow isn’t winning any prizes for Daughter of the Year–it’s … prizes for Daughter of the Year–it’s been far too long since she last visited home, for starters. But after receiving a late-night phone call from her father, she finds it impossible to stay away…
Georgia’s sister has gone missing. Sixteen years old, vanished in the dead of night, and hardly a clue to go on. No friends, no lovers, no belongings taken. However, after flying home to be with their father, Georgia soon uncovers a strange secret of her sister’s–a dark fascination Georgia can’t begin to understand, but which leads her to the dark shores at the edge of town…
…to the ocean deep, where a blood-soaked mystery threatens to claim Georgia just as it’s claimed so many lives before her.

Gills by Abe Moss
Intriguing read that pulls you into the story of 2 sisters Samantha and Georgia who each feel they don’t know the other sister even if they are family. Samantha disappears and Georgia goes home to find out if she ran away or if something else nefarious happened to her. What Georgia discovers is mind-blowing and makes for an interesting read that pulls you in and doesn’t let you go till you get to the last page. Another awesome book from Abe Moss, if you haven’t read this author yet what are you waiting for?!
This was a really great suspenseful horror book. The story has a great flow and is very well written. If you love a good suspenseful or horror read then I definitely recommend this book.

Gills by Abe Moss.
Swimming beneath the dark waves, wearing the faces of old beauties, they harbor the appetites of great whites…
A brilliant read. Great story. Some good characters. I feel like I hope there is more to come. 5*.
This is a very chilling horror that is sure to reel you in from the very start. The author does a great job with the setup and execution of the story as he always does and keeps the reader in suspense throughout the entire book. It is original and not predictable, and he keeps the reader enthralled and wanting to read more. If you’ve never read any of Mr. Moss’ books, they tend to be on the longer side, but they are well worth the time put into them.
Although this isn’t the type of story I usually read, I enjoyed it. The characters were well developed and the story was well written. I got lost at the very beginning of the book trying to understand how the old man, Alfred, fit into the story with Samantha and Georgia. But that was obvious pretty quick. For those afraid to swim in the ocean or dark waters, this story won’t help you feel any braver to do that. Even if you don’t normally read fantasy/Sci-Fi stories, give this one a chance. Like me, you might find you enjoyed it.
