When small town coroner Evie Dalton examined the body of an elderly man, found sitting in his rocking chair with a book on his lap and a dagger in his heart, she never imagined that her life was going to change completely. Then she touched the dagger in the old man’s chest, and her mind opened to the watery world his murderer came from. A strange encounter in that world left her pregnant with Little Fish, a child of the water that will have abilities beyond her imagination and control.
Now she must choose sides between the man in the lake, who could protect her and help her understand this child, or the woman in the rain, who wants to take the child from her, giving her the chance to live a normal life. As tries to deal with this pregnancy, she learns more about these creatures, and finds connections to another murder in the town’s history. Along with the deceased’s widow and the town’s sheriff, Evie embarks on a mission to discover the reason behind the deaths, and how they are linked to the fate of her child.

I'm guessing that agents will find "she never imagined that her life was going to change completely" a little bland ... especially since Evie has already been impregnated by a man in a lake. What about opening your query "When small town coroner Evie Dalton touched the dagger in the elderly man's heart..."
"Opened to the watery world" may not be clear - suddenly saw the watery world? Remembered the strange encounter?
And how does she know that her unborn child will have abilities beyond her imagination and control?
And who is the woman in the rain?
This is a tough query letter to write ... but you don't want to leave the agent confused.
Thanks for your advice! I'm still working on this query, and that helps a lot! =)
