I've read Priest's Clockwork series, which feels like a modern dime novel, and the Chesire Red books, an Urban Fantasy with a snarky vampire thief. Both series are fast-paced, action-packed reads.MAPLECROFT is a different animal. I thought that we would mostly be viewing the story from Lizzie's perspective, but the book is told through the journal entries and letters of several characters. The letter approach isn't always my favorite. Sometimes I find it interrupts the story, or slows everything down to a snail's pace (like, say, Frankenstein). Not the case here. The book kept my attention, but was less non-stop action and more creeping, rising tension.We have characters isolated from society because of a scandalous murder as well as a town geographically separated from the larger metropolises. They are also facing a Problem that is completely outside their known history and experience. To think on it is to risk sanity, but they have to figure it out if they have any hope of stopping it.Something is transforming the residents of Fall River. Lizzie killed the first two, after her parents were afflicted. Since then she has studied as best as she could with the equipment at her disposal, looking to myths to try to explain the impossible. Her parents weren't the only victims, though, and soon Lizzie and her small group of allies must fight for their lives, minds, and souls.Emma, Lizzie's sister, is frail but surprisingly resourceful. She and Lizzie have a complex relationship. They have been sequestered together, sharing terrible secrets. They crave help from others but have a very realistic fear to opening themselves to the outside world. Doctor Seabury is the town doctor whose testimony helped keep Lizzie from a murder conviction. He saw Lizzie's stepmother shortly before her death, and knew she was different, that she had changed into something horrifying, even though he couldn't bring himself to mention the truth. Nance, Lizzie's lover, is an actress and a force of nature herself with an inextinguishable curiosity. Lizzie and Nance had so many forces pulling them apart, societal and supernatural.So much I would love to discuss here but can't because spoilers.I definitely felt the rising dread as a monster stalked towards our little group. The transformation and murders, while horrifying, were the kind that leaves quite a bit to the reader's imagination. And my imagination tends to go into overdrive in these situations. The whole setting felt claustrophobic as everything came pressing down. Tense, at times heartbreaking, I really fell in love with the mythology here, the historical twist. While we do get a conclusion, there is room for more.If you are looking for something creepy, engrossing, and refreshingly different, go pick up MAPLECROFT. I will be pre-ordering book 2 as soon as it is available ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A captivating new series. *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2015* The people in town think that Lizzie killed her father and step mother but she was never convicted so it’s like she got away with murder. However they don’t really know what happened and she’s never admitted that she was the one who took their lives after all when she did it wasn’t really her parents anymore. With her older sister she moved away from prying eyes to the sea so that they could work on her research and continue to hunt those who have come from the sea. Lizzie and Emma are both living alone in isolation except that the Dr. Seabury has been their sole friend and confident. He knows more than anyone else does what’s really going on at Maplecroft.When Lizzies lover sneaks down into the cellar and uncovers the magic stones that Lizzie has taken from the sharp toothed creatures she’s had get rid of in the cooker. The stones call to people and Nance is no exception falling into a coma that force them to reach out to Dr. Seabury. When Dr. Seabury is unable to help they fear that Nance will go the same way that their parents did. As if that’s not enough a killer is intent on getting his hands on Emma after having corresponded with her. Will Lizzie be able to save her love and sister? Will she find out what’s really happening to the locals?I didn’t really have one favorite character in Maplecroft we are given multiple points of view of Lizzie, Emma, Nance, and Dr. Seabury are the main ones. I liked them all getting to see into their stories what they are really thinking I found it revealed more of the story. I like the way the character interacted together they worked well even when they aren’t on the best of terms.I’ve been interested in Lizzie Boren Borden since I saw the lifetime show last year and when I heard about the new take on the old story of Maplecroft I knew I had to read it. I wish it hadn’t taken me so long because I really enjoyed the story. The characters are well developed I found myself connecting with each one on different levels. I think the author did a great job taking the classic story and putting her own unique spin on it. So many twists and turns throughout the story it kept me on the edge of my seat till the very end. The authors writing style can be a little daunting at time but I think it’s because there is so much going on you feel a little overwhelmed but overall it’s well done. This is my first book by the author but I’m looking forward to the next one since I couldn't put this one down and finished it in just a over a day of reading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/7691340-maplecroft-paperback-september-2-2014](https://www.desertcart.in/products/7691340-maplecroft-paperback-september-2-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
