One hundred years ago, in the beautiful village of Secret Cove, Maine, on the night of the annual August Moon Ball, a shy and lovely servant girl committed an act so unspeakably violent that its legacy still lives. Now, the blood-drenched past of this small town is about to come to life once more--just in time for this year's August Moon Ball.
MY REVIEW
I liked this book. It starts out with 15 year old Terri losing her mom and step dad in a mysterious fire in their home. She then goes to live with her real dad,step mom, and lil half sister Melissa. Melissa is 13 and is abused by her mother and to hide from it she let's her imaginary(or so it seems imaginary) friend D'Arcy take control of her body. Terri soon fits in with all the other rich kids leaving Melissa feeling lonlier than ever with the other kids picking on her. Day by day things turn out for the worse and Terri has Melissa convinced she is doing bad things blaming it on D'Arcy. Don't want to give too much away but as you can tell Terri is the evil sibbling! This is the first book I've ever read by John Saul and I liked it. I've read a lot of reviews for his books some good while others not so good. So just like me you'll prolly have to find out for yourself if you like his books.
