I think Maddie may be the antidote or it has something to with the cave. The same cave that calhoun grandaddy was in. There are so many twists and turns in this story. Also Maddie needs to tell her beloved husband about the creature she saw in beth room. That thing was afraid of Maddie. There is more to Maddie powers. Can't wait to find out what powers she really possess.
The creature must be something belonged to death reapers which collected the souls. Otherthan that I'm unable to find a different answer. And we all know how our author is, she love to surprise us in the most unimaginable way in the midst of all chaos. So simple guessings are worthless. We will find it soon.
