Author Megan Harris' new YA novel, "Water Spirits" (published by Balboa Press), combines a dark, twisted story and a pandemonium of erratic emotions to create the ultimate tale of one teenage girl's vengeful journey through the afterlife.

When the book's protagonist, Ashley, discovers Jared's cheating ways and tries to leave him, Jared sends her a clear message: he isn't letting her go without a fight. In a fit of anger, Jared overpowers Ashley and stops the beating of her heart. It's the beginning of Ashley's vengeful afterlife journey.

When dark forces discover the strength of Ashley's powers, their greed brings war upon the spirit elements. Ashley must summon all of her inner strength and fight for what she believes in. But in her thirst for vengeance, will she overlook what really matters?

Harris appeals to young adult readers who are yearning for a fresh idea. She hopes her young adult fantasy that dances between two vastly different worlds, united by life and death, will fill a gap in young adult literature.

"It is an extremely twisted tale," Harris says. "Nothing is ever as it first seems. Everything has a purpose and it takes revenge to the next level through supernatural abilities and everlasting hatred."
