This book was really good. It was very fast paced and I could not put it down. I liked the twist on the Lizzie Borden story..it was very creative! There are still some unanswered questions..so I am hoping a second book comes out soon.

That's interesting how the author took a real event and turned it into this urban-fantasy-legend H.P.Lovecraft tribute. Not bad.

Despite all the raves on the cover, I didn't find it living up to the them. Couldn't get into the book.

Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks; and when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one.... The people of Fall River, Massachusetts, fear me. Perhaps rightfully so. I remain a suspect in the brutal deaths of my father and his second wife despite the verdict of innocence at my trial. With our inheritance, my sister, Emma, and I have taken up residence in Maplecroft, a mansion near the sea and far from gossip and scrutiny. But it is not far enough from the affliction that possessed my parents. Their characters, their very souls, were consumed from within by something that left malevolent entities in their place. It originates from the ocean’s depths, plaguing the populace with tides of nightmares and madness. This evil cannot hide from me. No matter what guise it assumes, I will be waiting for it. With an axe.

A fun, dark read

A fun, dark romp with fierce and complicated heroines. Great beach reading, if you want something a little scary. Recommended.
