Lil's dislike of him in particular made me wonder about him. Hers wasn't the only property in town that he was interested in, but the fact that he couldn't enter hers without her consent nagged at me. When he went as far as accosting Sasha and tried to convince her that she didn't belong there seemed another tactic to get to Lil. It was Lil's relationship with Jason that didn't seem quite right. After a day helping with the festival plans, they return to Honeysuckle House, and she says the" difference is palpable "because it looks long neglected. At what point Jason disappears and where he goes or what happens to him is never clear. When they begin to have sex, she describes him as "glowing in a flickering phantom light, orange catching highlights in his hair, on his skin." The flickering phantom light made me suspicious. It seemed out of place. And when it was revealed that the monster Theron could take human shape, everything seemed to fall into place.
