Product Description

Ingram

One hundred years ago, in the beautiful village of Secret Cove, Maine, on the night of the annual August Moon Ball, a shy and lovely servant girl committed an act so unspeakably violent that its legacy still lives. Now, the blood-drenched past of this small town is about to come to life once more--just in time for this year's August Moon Ball. HC: Bantam. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Dissapointed, Jun 29 2004
By Audra (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Second Child (Mass Market Paperback)
When I came across this book and read the back panel I couldn't wait to read it! The story sucked me right in and I was glued for two days not wanting to put it down. There is no doubt the writer has a great way with words. However the closer and closer I got towards the end of the book though with absolutely nothing juicy happening (for "revenge")I started to get annoyed. For a 355 page book that had so much potential to be wrapped up in 9 pages that explain NOTHING I think was absolutely ridiculous, and I realize I'm not alone with my disappointment. I wish I would have checked into the disappointed reviews before I bought the book. I would not recommend the book to somebody else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!, Feb 13 2004
By karla (Fayetteville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Second Child (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is just awesome, brilliant, genius, etc! It's my favorite book of all time, I have read it 3 times, and am planning to read it again, you just get so attached to the characters, especially Melissa, that you want to hear about them again and again. John Saul is talented at creating vivid images, and great stories; I recommend it to people from ages 13-up. Trust me--you'll enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book
I have just recently started reading Saul's books. I read a lot of King and Koontz but have decided to give Saul a try. So far it has proven to be a good idea. Read more
