About this audiobook
On a remote island off the coast of Maine, a troubled family is trying to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives and start over. But unbeknownst to them, the property they have inherited is steeped in ancient magic-magic that could seek to destroy and devour them.
An arcane locked box, a strange and foreboding trail into the woods, a seductive young woman, and tales of a malevolent Indian spirit are just some of the perils Karen Andersen must face in order to find a way to save her family.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Couldn't Put It Down!
I saw that MATEGUAS ISLAND was free today and, because it had so many good reviews, I downloaded it this morning. Sat down to check it out and OMG I couldn't put it down! Watkins takes time developing her characters and, soon, I came to care about them, warts and all. Then strange things start happening and it becomes a real page turner. There is terror here and not all of it is supernatural - the disintegration of a once happy marriage and the effect it has on the children is also painfully portrayed.
So, if you enjoy well written horror that does not need to depend on blood, guts and gore to make its point, then you will love this book. I know I did and can't wait for the next installment! - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Complete piece of junk. It's not a "horror" novel at all, but a kissy-kissy adulterous romance (and a very poorly written one at that). As far as the supernatural element, that doesn't really come into play until the novel's 80-to-85 percent through, and even then it's almost laughable.I got this at a cut price on Kindle based on the high number of 5-star ratings it has on Amazon. I'm beginning to suspect these ratings, and I'm wondering if this thing is self-published.
