In the third book of the Blackwater saga, plot points of the past begin to come together, tensions rise, and supernatural occurrences plague the Caskey family. Elinor and Mary Love’s animosity towards one another comes to a head when Mary Love does not do right by her son financially, resulting in dire consequences. Miriam is coming into her own and is very evidently following in the footsteps of her “mother” Mary Love. This book contained pivotal information to the saga and I love that it contained more supernatural elements than The Levee. This book shocked me in a multitude of ways and I cannot wait to see how these carry over into the next book, The War.
