Return to Mateguas Island: a tale of
supernatural suspense by Linda
Watkins is the second spine tingling book in her Mateguas Island
trilogy. The battle that started in the first thrilling book
continues but this time the stakes are higher. This time Karen is not
only battling for her family but for the future of mankind. Luckily
for her she won't have to make the stand alone as she receives some
help from unsuspected places.
This
time it is twins Sophie and Terri that are determined to find out
what happened that day 10 years ago when their dad disappeared. It is
not long before they are transporting us, along with their mom and
step-dad, back to that little Island of the coast of Maine. Soon
after arriving we find ourselves back on the thrilling roller-coaster
ride we experienced in the previous book. This time around there are
more characters, twists, and clues that take us even deeper into this
mystical realm that plagues the swamp, surrounding property and those
that live there. With each page you will find yourself drawn in so
deep that you find your heart pounding as you experience these
terrifying supernatural events that haunt both Karen and her daughter
Terri.
Ms.
Watkins does a great job with her uses of with creating an air of
mystery around some of characters to make us guess at to just what
part they play in the struggle about to unfold. A good example of
this was when close to the end of the first book when we find out
Maggie is pregnant with Bill's child and the mysterious time lapse
she experiences. Then, some of the things that come out in her
thoughts further make us wonder what role she will play and will it
be for good or evil.
I
would recommend this book for anyone that likes folk lore,
supernatural stories, mysteries or want to relive that feeling of
when you were younger and would tell scary stories around the
campfire.
