The Unloved

I'm a big reader, and I always love it when I stumble across books that are relatively unknown and get to spread the word about them.

So this review will be of John Saul's novel The Unloved.

Synopsis:

Kevin wakes with a start from the nightmare he had of killing his mother, he is the only Deveraux to leave the family stomping ground, but that is about to change. When Helena Deveraux, Kevin's mother, is on her death bed her one wish is that her long lost son Kevin return back to Deveraux. Upon Kevin's return he rekinldes his relationship with his sister Margurite, and finds that after his mother's passing he is contractually bound to live in Deveraux.

Margurite has known nothing other than taking care of her mother Helena. She used to aspire to become a ballet dancer, but ever since her accident she has resorted to teaching ballet to the local girls. After Kevin returns back to Deveraux Manor and her mother passes, she feels abandoned, alone, and strangly has taken a great interest in her now dead mother. Everyone thinks that she is crazy, but she knows that mother would be, is happy with who she has become.

This is a great novel that has many plot twists and at several points scores a 10 on the "Scare-O-Meter". I highly reccomend that you pick this book up!
