Beth Green inherits a lake house on Lake Martin in Alabama from her estranged uncle. The house has been in her family for generations, but it comes with a dark history and a curse.
Beth's great-grandmother, Evelyn, built the house through deception and thievery. Shortly after the house's completion, Evelyn begins to suffer from dark visions and nightmares. Years later, she drowns mysteriously. Within each generation, one member of their family is cursed and begins to suffer in similar ways.
When Beth receives the will for the house, she finds that it comes with instructions not to enter the attic. The only exception is if she begins having nightmares. . . When she does, that's when her story begins and when she learns of the decision she must make.
This story is one of horror, impossible choices, and Christian faith.
Kelly Davis is an Alabama author and writes Christian horror. She is the author of "Waterways and Other Dark Short Stories and Poems", and the novel "Acceptance".
This is a fantastic supernatural tale. I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this story up, but I was drawn in.
Beth suddenly finds herself caught up in a battle for her soul instigated by her ancestor's choices. The house that she inherited binds her to her ancestors in a way she didn't expect. Can she break this or is she stuck, just as they were?
I was totally captivated by Beth's plight. If you like clean supernatural fiction that will make you think, this is it and I highly recommend it.
Although this is Kelly Davis's first novel, I doubt it will be her last!
