Publisher's summary

When an unusual chain of drownings occurs in Upper Mystic Lake, two families are pitted against one another as they attempt to lay the blame for the loss of their only begotten children, at the feet of the other family. The Shakespearian tragedy forces everyone to reassess their own culpability as well as their way forward, while attempting to find closure.

Unbeknownst to those uninitiated in the world of the occult arts, there are powers at play that if taken lightly, could not only change the lives of those involved, but they could also unleash a demonic plague, allowing the unchecked proliferation of evil.

In preparation for the battle that is sure to come, a warlock, a sorceress, a Native American shaman, and an internet-savvy opportunist, attempt to wield the emerging energy in both benevolent and malevolent ways, often unsure of either the outcome or the cost demanded of those who wield dark magic.

As uneasy and unexpected alliances are formed in the ultimate battle between good and evil, an intuitive sheriff's detective is determined to solve the mysteries behind what others may call an accident, but the detective is certain...was murder.

A battle of good versus evil

A supernatural thriller on the darker side. Love all the details McFarland gives his characters and all the detailed description of the stories settings.

The Curse of Mystic Lakes

This was a very well written ghost story. Teens from the opposite side of the tracks drown after being abused by friends and family. Now there are spirits and weird happenings.Other deaths have occured. I was hoping to be scared,I wasn't. John Flaherty was a very good narrator. I was given this book free for an honest review.

Supernatural Karma

The Curse of the Mystic Lakes was an absolutely phenomenal book that dealt with magic, deities, greed, narcissism, and above all else karma. I was hooked from the first chapter. The characters and storyline are well developed and researched. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I will say this you will not be disappointed in this book. In my opinion, this book is a MUST READ/LISTEN to anyone who loves books about supernatural deities. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

Supernatural and Vengeance twisted together!

I enjoyed this book. it was a great mix of Supernatural Entities mixed with Vengeance. I was impressed with how the Author mixed your feelings between Anger, Fun and even some Humorous angles. Narration was very good. Enjoyable but some occasional Explicit tones.

Horrifically Beautiful!

This is a well-narrated and immersing story with unexpected heroes, victims, and villains and twists at every turn. There are parts that had me laughing and others that had me terrified. The incorporation of many different mystical beliefs and rituals was fascinating and kept the story flowing and captivating until the very end. Another Riano D. McFarland gem that is surprising in its depth and compelling in its delivery by John Flaherty! Excellent audiobook!
