I decided to continue the series and read this book a bit early. Interesting story told by Catherine's two sons. The story has a good amount of creepy and a few interesting twists. There are still a few characters, like in the previous story, I find slapable.
This story was as dark and sad as the others in the series but still an addictive read. I found it hard to put down, knowing what was bound to happen but still wanting to find out what Jory and Burt would do. Burt was just plain creepy and weird. At some point I felt sorry for him as he was being used. Jory was irritating. And the drama continues.

Just on time finished! I couldn't wait to start part 3 of the series. It was really different because this book is written out of the eyes of Jory and Bart (the children) and so we see the story in a another way, then part 1 and 2. After I got used to this way of writing, I started to love this book. It was a good sequel and it had a good ending. Good story even though it is a very controversial subject about incest. I do however hope Bart will turn a little more normal in the next book. I give it 4 points.
