this is the second time for me of reading a book by Jensen.The first book I read The Haunting was lackluster horror novel so I was very surprised with the quality of this novel.nine-year old Greta is out playing with her cousins when they find a ring down a old well and a skeleton! Greta decides to keep it for herself and soons regrets her decision for when she puts her ring on she is terrorized by a evil force that beckons her with whispers to kill her family!Greta's family one by one falls victim of this evil force in the guise of a formless black shadow.This quietly eerie horror novel combines supernatural menace with a murder mystery as a policeman in the neighborhood tries to catch the killer of the person in the well.Both storylines converge into a chilling and surprising conclusion!Jensen has written a chilling story of one family who has some skeletons in their own closet and their fatal and terrifying experience with the supernatural.

Aside from the usual thrills and chills this story makes for a very dark, grim novel. Jensen delves into the psychology of sibling rivalry and parental favoritism. It's almost as if she were working out issues of her own. It will definitely leave you pondering the deeper issues.

The remains of a young girl are found in an abandoned well. What secrets did she take to her grave? And who is responsible for her death? As the community looks for answers, a ring is found with the remains. A young girl acquires it and finds herself stalked by some dark, shadowy presence. A kind of wraith that whispers to her and incites her to kill... Jensen is a great storyteller and hugely under-appreciated. Her books are always entertaining and deliver real chills. Recommended for horror fans and anyone who enjoys a good creepy story. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Jensen's work.
