Burying Water
Author: K.A. Tucker
Publish Date: October 7th 2014
Rating: 4/5 Stars
Synopsis: Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?
Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.
The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

Review:
I had an idea of what I was going to be getting into but I can tell you that this wasn't. The prologue hooked me. I was thinking, "What the heck is going on?!?!" And that was pretty much my thought process throughout the book. When I was about less than half way through the book another thought came to mind, "When is the crap going to hit the fan?"
Now those thoughts don't mean that this story was confusing or boring; it was neither of those things. The way K.A. Tucker puts the scenes together and how though they might not seem to have any connection because they seem insignificant there is one small aspect that connects to the previous chapter or the one coming up. It's really like a game of Clue. But the clues are not necessarily for us but for Water and we're sitting on the sidelines peeking at her during her journey.
Even though I didn't know what I was expecting, when I finished Burying Water I knew that what I went though was what I expected. If you've read K.A Tucker's previous works, this won't let you down. If you haven't read any of K.A Tucker's works then make sure you have money to buy the rest of her books because Burying Water will hook you.
