Haunted Waters

By Mary Pope Osborne and Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué

Book Overview

In this compelling tale of romance and terror, a little-known legend has been woven into a novel that will grip readers from beginning to end. Who is Undine, the mysterious, wild maiden who swims at midnight to hear the fish sing? When Lord Huldbrand first meets her on a lost and haunted promontory, she seems utterly beautiful and pure. But gradually he begins to wonder just how much he really knows about his bride. He fears her murky past and her mystical powers. And worst of all, he fears that the faceless demon that stalks them through the woods and castle, cackling with laughter and howling with rage, could be coming to claim her. A love story with a horrifying mystery at its core, Haunted Waters tests its young hero's commitment to a heroine who sparkles and changes like water.

Customer Reviews

The story is of Undine, a sea deity and husband Huldbrand.

This is a wonderful book. It terrorizes and tantalizes at the same time. It is in the top 3 of books I have ever read. A haunting,passionate story with just enough detail to tell a great tale. The book was so hard to put down.

I recomend it!

I thought the use of words and the discription was excellent. It had a lot of climaxes and it was a very suspenful book, but yet it wasn't a scary book. It had a very good base to the story and just made you want to read more. I thought it was so good that I just sat in my chair and read the whole thing in one day. I highly recomend it!!!!

Mel's thoughts of Haunted Waters

This book was enchanting! It wasn't like anything I've ever read. Mary Pope Osbourne is a very talented writer. It was a book that made me want to keep turning the page!

This book was GREAT!!!

Haunted Waters is a really excellent book! Mary Pope Osborne really gets you to have feelings towards the characters and wonder why things happen the way they do. She in a way forshadows whats going to happen, but you don't realize she did until what she foreshadowed happened. This book was great if you like magic and suspence, and even if that's not your favorite, you'll still love it
