I have read all of Jennifer's books & have enjoyed them all. This one is a chilling story about a woman who returns to the old family home after her sister mysteriously drowns in its swimming pool. Lexie, Jax‘s sister, has been out of touch with reality. Jax arrives at her grandmother's house & learns that Lexie was researching the history of their family & the property. Jax discovers that the land holds a far darker past than she imagined.

EadieB In 1929, a natural spring is showcased by the newest and most modern hotel in the Northeast which eventually becomes the pool on the grandmother's property. The story switches back and forth from 1929 to the present. It is a modern-day ghost story that illuminates how the past certainly has an influence on the present day. I found the characters to be unique and quite interesting. 3y

EadieB The story did not disappoint and I do look forward to Jennifer's next book. I would recommend this book to those who love ghost stories. Thanks so much to NetGalley and Simon and Shuster for a free copy for an honest review. To be published April 6, 2021 3y

Andrew65 This looks great! Yet to read any of her books. Have to correct that in 2021! 😊 3y

EadieB @Andrew65 I think her writing gets better with each book. They are comparing her to Shirley Jackson. 3y

Andrew65 @EadieB Thanks, I need to start thinking about books I want to read next year. 3y

EadieB @Andrew65 Me too! I have lots of books and series that I need to catch up on. I need to stop getting distracted. 3y

Andrew65 @EadieB NetGalley has led to me adding loads of new series I want to read. Want to get to some of those but prioritise some of the older series too. Need to get back on track with reading, past four months have impacted on it with school being fully open. Also want to get back on track for group reads with the books I can get hold of. Not been to a library in over 9 months. You‘ve had a tricky year with changes to family situation. 3y

EadieB @Andrew65 Yes! I can't wait until things settle down and my house gets back to normal too. Sorry to hear that the past 4 months have been so bad for you. This has been the worse year and has really taken a toll on us! 3y
