About this eBook

Lush, a deceptively tranquil, the secluded island  basks in splendid isolation off the South Carolina  coast--as does the Devereaux mansion, a once-great  plantation house now crumbling amidst the ancient  oaks. Now, for the first time in two decades,  Kevin Devereaux has returned here with his wife and  children to visit Kevin's hated, and frightening  mother. She said she was ill--but is that really why  the old woman has summoned the son she has not  seen in so many years? Suddenly, horribly, one of  the Devereauxs is going to die. And now, all the  dark secrets of this once-proud family will emerge  to wrap their evil around the unsuspecting  children. Until, in the shadowed corridors and  dust-covered rooms of the decaying old house, they learn the  true terror of The Unloved.

I had found this book in a pile of of old books at my grandma's and me being the avid reader, decided to read it. First thing that drew me in an instant was the setting(deep South old plantation) and the characters! Even though it is a work of fiction, Wow! The human mind can crack in some crazy ways as the plot unravels. Great plot and story line.

Sent serious chills down my back...I could not put it down. One of the cruelest endings I've read, nearly made me cry.
