With the 2nd tale in the Unwanted series, once again the authors have presented a fascinating story, expanding on the characters and storylines that began in the first book. This book was a pleasure to read, and learning more about Sharon and her family brought me a good deal of satisfaction. The development of the overall story has grown even more enjoyable with this continuing saga about family and the way the members live and learn about each other with a little drama and intrigue interspersed throughout.
The unexpected arrival of Jack’s father in the beginning sets the story in motion, with everyone wanting to know why he is there, and this event sets the tone of the book. This entry perhaps was less focused on the adventure portion (i.e., Alice’s shady dealings, Pierre Martine’s search for his lost and stolen money) and seemed to center more on the family relations and the way these people interact with each other. From Ralph’s addictions and abusiveness to Roy and Callie’s burgeoning relationship, the tale gets more complex. Wisely, the authors solved a few mysteries yet left quite a bit unresolved, paving the way for the next book in the series.
If your taste in reading runs to wholesome family drama, with some adventure and romance throughout, then this series is for you. These stories, in my opinion, would make for a good television serial. The characters became even more likeable, and you find yourself really caring what happens to them. Overall, the Unwanted House Guest turned out to be a hidden gem. I am truly liking these books, and I am eager to read the 3rd book in the set.
