From Ninie Hammon, the sorceress of psychological suspense, comes the first book of her long-anticipated and thrilling new Through The Canvas series: Black Water — a book that won’t stop squeezing your book-loving heart before the final page.

Bailey Donahue was supposed to stay dead...

After witnessing her husband's murder, Bailey’s been ripped from her life and secreted away in the Witness Protection Program.

Too bad the sleepy town of Shadow Rock was the wrong place to hide.

Believed dead by the mafia, Bailey finds herself trapped in a torturous limbo, walled-off from her old life. But that’s where she must stay unless she’s willing to risk the lives of her eighteen-month-old daughter, or any of the other people Bailey loves most in the world.

Losing all hope, she tries to kill herself ...

Then wakes up in the hospital, more alive than ever.

Now Bailey has a “gift”— she can paint portraits of events that haven't happened... yet.

Her first picture is of a drowning girl. She doesn't know who or where the girl is, or worse, how to stop her prediction from coming true.

When two locals offer their help, Bailey feels like she must accept, even though her instincts are screaming that the pair of supposedly good Samaritans know too much about her.

Can Bailey find the girl and prevent a tragedy — without letting anyone know she’s still alive?

Discover what thousands of Ninie’s readers already know about her unforgettable five-star work:

Ninie Hammon

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ninie Hammon (rhymes with shiny, not skinny) grew up in Muleshoe, Texas, got a BA in English and theatre from Texas Tech University and snagged a job as a newspaper reporter. She didn't know a thing about journalism, but her editor said if she could write he could teach her the rest of it and if she couldn't write the rest of it didn't matter. She hung in there for a 25-year career as a journalist. As soon as she figured out that making up the facts was a whole lot more fun than reporting them, she turned to fiction and never looked back.

Ninie now writes suspense--every flavor except pistachio: psychological suspense, inspirational suspense, suspense thrillers, paranormal suspense, suspense mysteries.

In every book she keeps this promise to her Loyal Reader: "I will tell you a story in a distinctive voice you'll always recognize, about people as ordinary as you are--people who have been slammed by something they didn’t sign on for, and now they must fight for their lives. Then smack in the middle of their everyday worlds, those people encounter the unexplainable--and it's always the game-changer."

A fast-paced story that begins with an almost leisurely pace, but don't be be fooled. That's just the ramp leading up to the race track--and once Ms. Hammon leads the reader onto the the track, get ready for blazing speeds!
Solid writing, strong, likeable, & relatable characters, and an imaginative story that leaves one breathless with anticipation.

Only one thing blipped on my "uncertain" radar, as a Christian, and that was the premise of the possible explanations behind the supernatural aspect. This might be an issue for other believers, but it was left vague enough that perhaps the next book offers a better explanation from a biblical position.

My Recommendation
Black Water by Ninie Hammon is an unique stroll through some rather powerful images! One thing to keep in mind when reading anything by Ninie, it will be a very, very important tale, possibly with some otherworldly touches! So, ground rules covered, we have a small settled town, an stately, vacant Victorian house, friendly neighbors, and an appreciation for unusual art! A newcomer to Blackwater Falls moves into the 'house' with her baggage and her art supply. She's been an Illustrator for anatomy textbooks, and yearns to expand into other canvas endeavors, some she isn't aware of! Two neighborly gents befriend her after an accidental discharge of her pistol, a rather serious head wound. She begins to have images of children drowning, she feels the need to find and save them from an altogether watery grave. There's much more... a younger single Sheriff, hauntings, dreams, flooding, terror, countless loss of life, strip mining and more. Like undertow, Black Water will grab you, pull you in, and keep ahold of you until Ninie lets you go.
I highly recommend this outstanding tale, sometimes darker, but so, so entertaining!!!

This is a master piece by a Master Storyteller.
I was spell bound from the first chapter. The charactures are so alive w�e I held my breath most of the time.
Bailey's sad story was woven underneath the story is such a gripping way that I felt her pain.
An awesome tale. I can't wait for the next one.

As always Ninie lets you get to know the characters in her books and feel what they are feeling. While it was well written,as all of her books are, I felt this story was a little predictable. Still a very good read.

A good read that started as unpredictable as it continued and ended. I doubt it's one of those read where you know what will happen and wait for it. It is unexpected and not predictable. I'm sure more books in a series would be compelling.
