The Curse of Sara Douroux by C.A. Wittman

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Horror Thriller

“What must her life be like, I often wonder, living as a human.”

Sara Douroux lives on the island of Maui with her elderly adoptive parents. She doesn’t remember anything of her childhood or of coming to live in Hawaii. She can remember a year ago she got very sick, so sick she almost died. Her parents are set in the old ways, no doctors, no telephone, and very private, Sara is not allowed to have friends. A letter comes in the mail one day to her parents and they tell Sara that four cousins will be coming to stay with them for a month.
Not long after, four pale white young children arrive. They are so sick that they can barely walk or talk but Sara is told that under no circumstances is she to feed them. As soon as the children arrive, strange occurrences start to happen. The children seem to be growing daily, even through they never eat. Locals begin to see a pale white woman watching them at night. Sara knows that things are not right but her parents refuse to tell her the truth about their visitors or her. As a group of local kids start to investigate, they reveal a terrible danger and Sara may be the key to saving the whole valley.

The Curse of Sara Douroux 🌟🌟🌟

Some how March is over already.  I hope you all had a better reading month than I did.  I was only able to finish 3, and no 5 🌟 for the 2nd month in a row. 

As most of us have been ordered to Stay Home and Stay Safe, I was hoping to be able to use that as an opportunity to get some much needed reading done.  But that is not what I was able to do, clearly.  I already work from home so that hasn’t changed.  I was more worried about how my family was doing with everything going on.  So I spent a lot more time on the phone talking and facetimeing with them instead. 

The puppy is still requiring a lot of time and attention as expected and we also rescued two juvenile redfoot tortoises (we already had 3, so up to 5 now 😳).  I am hoping that soon our lives will return to normal a bit, for my sanity’s sake.

I am very thankful to James R. Hemmings and C.A.Wittman forproviding me with copies of their books to read and review.

Book 11:  Hawaii

“A gothic tale of horror, secrets, and an unimaginable past…”

On the island of Maui, Sara lives with her adoptive elder parents who are very set in the old ways.  She lives a very secluded life, no telephone, not able to make frieends.  Then one day 4 mysterious “cousins” arrive to live with them for a month.  She is told by her parents that under no circumstances is she to feed them.

“Something wicked, something dark has Sara’s family in its grip.  An insidious terror will soon sweep through the small valley where Sara lives, threatening the lives of her neighbors.  In a race to discover the truth of who her cousins really are, Sara forms a tenuous friendship with an unlikely pair:  Jenny, a shy newcomer to the island, and Sunami, a tomboyish local girl.  As the girls discover a chilling truth, they realize to their horror that time is running out and some secrets should never be disturbed.”
