Lush and deceptively tranquil, with its pristine beaches and blossoming vegetation, the island basks in splendid isolation off the South Carolina coast. Here, where sudden storms unleash the murderous rage of wind and sea, stands the Devereaux mansion, a once-great plantation house now crumbling amid ancient oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Here, Marguerite Devereaux, 50 and childless, has cast off her dreams to care for her aged, demanding mother.

Clark's Harbor was the perfect coastal haven, jealously guarded against outsiders. But now strangers have come to settle there. And a small boy is suddenly free of a frenzy that had gripped him since birth.... His sister is haunted by fearful visions.... And one by one, in violent, mysterious ways, the strangers are dying. Never the townspeople. Only the strangers. Has a dark bargain been struck between the people of Clark's Harbor and some supernatural force? Or is it the sea itself calling out for a human sacrifice?

She is excited about her new life, ready to make new friends...until a hand reaches out of the swirling mists - the hand of a blind child.

Brilliant summers amid golden fields. Killing winters of razorlike cold. A peaceful, neighborly village, darkened by legends of death? Who is Nathaniel? For 100 years, the people of Prairie Bend have whispered the name in wonder and fear. Some say he is simply a folk tale - a legend created to frighten children on cold winter nights. Some swear he is a terrifying spirit returned to avenge the past. And soon...very soon...some will come to believe that Nathaniel lives still - darkly, horrifyingly real. Nathaniel.

Horrible-avoid this one...
What disappointed you about The Unwanted?
It was boring, slow, and not that interesting.
What could John Saul have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
re-write the whole book?
Would you be willing to try another one of Joyce Bean’s performances?
Not sure
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Sadness, Disappointment, boredom
Any additional comments?
I wouldn't ever recommend this book...maybe you can get past its boring story and a story that lacks the ability to made you care about the character or their plight. Good luck, and buy it on sale....

not to my liking.
I didn't mind the story line at all, but it really was more like it had been written for young teenagers rather than adults.
