This one was truly creepy. It doesn't have anything jumping out and scaring you but it slowly creeps around you, giving you a truly unsettling feeling.
For years the families of the McCrays and the Savages have met at their place called Beldame. This place consists of 3 houses sitting on a patch of sand near the Gulf of Mexico. One house is the McCrays and one is the Savages. The third house is not occupied and is slowly sinking into the sand. After an intense funeral of a family member, they decide on a getaway to Beldame. Once there they are slowly reminded of why no one goes in or near the vacant home. They also find that it is not really vacant at all.
This book has a wonderful southern gothic feel to it. It is a slow burn through the first three quarters then at the end it ignites the whole book on fire. The characters are wonderfully drawn out even if I had issues with the father/daughter relationship between Lukar & India. Looking forward to reading more McDowell books!
