Publisher's summary

A small quiet town. A sleepy motel. A family tired from the road. And a swimming pool that is the doorway to forever.

A family vacation across America's great Southwest takes a turn into a sleepy little town.
Looking to take a break from the road, Shawn checks his family into a motel with a partially obscured pool. Shawn and his family settle in, not knowing that their reality is about to be bashed to pieces. When old habits and the loss of trust are brought back up from the deep end of The Pool. Where the paranormal is normal.

The Pool rules

Number one. Only one person can walk through the gate at a time.
Number two. The gate must be fully closed before the next person goes through, and that person must open the gate unassisted.
Number three. You must be ready to enter the pool.
Number four. The Pool knows when you're ready.
The mystery of life and death will be revealed, in this horror thriller with emotional depth.

When you are running from your past it's never a good idea to do it with your family in the car.

Heavy handed and not original at all.

The prose is adequate but there is no subtlety in it. The premise is dated and obvious.
