I have read all of Jennifer's books and 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 has been out of touch with reality so Jax is not surprised that something has happened to her sister. Jax arrives at her grandmother's house and learns that Lexie was researching the history of their family and the property. Jax discovers that the land holds a far darker past than she could have ever imagined.
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. 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.

This spooky legend was right up my alley! It's creepy and involves a good dose of family history involving a mysterious natural springs that grants wishes at a terrible price. What I'd like to know is why on earth anyone would want to remain in a place like that? It's the stuff of sleepless nights. Unfortunately, the stale outcome was a disappointing finish to an otherwise fascinating tale. 3.5 stars.
