I was in hopes that the story would be more frightening than it was…but on the other hand I’m not frightened by much that I read…just intrigued. I did find the story intriguing but also very predictable. The ending was exactly what I thought it would be. Still it was a good read for anyone that likes dark horror. I will say that the book produces a much-needed adrenaline rush and I will diffidently continue with the series. ( )

The broken doll on the cover of Blackwater Tales: The Unwanted by Jean Nicole Rivers made me pause and check out the book. It reeks of evil and danger and I LOVE it.

Blaire and Travis’s arrival to San Sebastian leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling. I don’t believe things will be as they think…

Blaire comes from Blackwater, a cursed town. Will that curse follow her to Borslav and St Sebastion?

Travis and Blaire quickly become friends and he has her back…no matter what. To say the outlook is bleak does not begin to describe their situation. At least she will not be alone.

The children…The Unwanted…Who are they…really?

They were just as broken as the old building.

Are they damaged or is it the adults? Are the workers possessed? Are the children possessed? Is there ghosts or another evil supernatural spirit?

The suspense and evil creep up on me slowly and build throughout the story as Blaire tries to solve the mystery of evil surrounding San Sebastian. Every bump and noise makes me expect something horrific to happen.

There’s something in the basement.

Oh no, not one of those. Please, oh please, do not go in the basement!

I wish you luck trying to figure out the evil before it GETS you. The scariness is subtle, lurking just beneath the words and I dare you to read this. The last 10 to 15 percent had me unable to put the book down.

The ending…a shocker. So unexpected and I LOVE it!

I received a copy of Blackwater Tales: The Unwanted by Jean Nicole Rivers in return for an honest review.
