5.0

Beneath the Surface easily ties with my Beneath the Stands for my favorite in the series. Lily was such a complex character, and ever since her disappearance in book one, I was desperately waiting for her happy ending. And boy did she get one!! I loved her relationship with both Chases and how she and her brother really found the healing they deserved. She and Mason also had amazing chemistry, and the spice was HOT AF! I think she fit back into Sugar Lake seamlessly, and her story made me laugh, cry, and everything in between. Something about this just stuck out to me, which made me love the reading experience. I'm so excited to read more from Emily McIntire because I adored these books so much!
