I didn't expect to like this book but I did.  I read the reviews and many of them panned Ms. Stone for the violence and rape and I was prepared to be horrified, but in all actuality, I've read worse.  Yes, the act of rape is committed in several places in the book, however the detail is lacking - which is a good thing! - and you get just a bare sentence or two of the act before the rest of the ritual continues.What I loved about this book is that it kept me guessing for a long time.  Who was the real bad guy?  Who wasn't who they said they were?  The suspense kept me going and the side story romance nestled in the book was a nice touch.  I just could not believe how many people were betraying others in this book, the surprises kept coming as the book went on!This book is a real interesting take on demon possession with a nice fictional history of the "marsh" thrown in for good measure.  As a freebie, the book does not disappoint, but even if I had paid for it, I would have been just as happy.  Ms. Stone can weave a story with characters that you love and hate at the same time.  No wimpy oh-save-me female lead in this book!  Don't listen to the dissenters and judge this book for yourself.
