After a good deal of time away chasing demons and dealing with vampires, Jayné Heller is returning to Witchita. Jayné is going to attend her older brother's wedding and the process hopefully get the answers from her parents that has wanted for a long time. As with all family gathering things go awry quickly but because nothing has ever really been normal in Jayné's world, it's not as simple as a drunken relative passing out in the mashed potatoes. The deeper Jayné digs she risks unearthing an evil which has been haunting her family for generations. There is a price to truth and now Jayné has to decide whether she willing to pay it and in the process save the family which has long rejected her. From the ending of Graveyard Child, it's not immediately clear if this is the last book in the series. Hanover did leave himself a little bit of room to continue with Jayné and her cohorts and in the process managed to tied up a lot of loose ends in the series. We discover the purpose of the tattoo which Jayné desperately sought to hide from her father, as well as what happened during Jayné's lost two days when she was 16. The most important revelations had to do with Jayné's family. From the onset we were told that her father was an authoritarian parent with strong religious beliefs. These facts did indeed turn out to be true; however, Hanover took great care to imbue a sense of complexity to not only his character but those of the other members of Jayné's family. This allowed the reader to have a greater understanding of Jayné and to fully appreciate her growth as a protagonist. It's worth mentioning that I still don't find Jayné to be particularly likeable, even if she is no longer naive. One of my issues with this series is that women really have taken on the role of victim status with exception of course of the extremely irritating chosen one, Jayné. We learn that Jayné's mother is docile because she is a survivor of the most violent abuse and in almost complete denial of what happened to her. With the exception of Jayné and her lawyer there, have been no female characters in this series who at some point where not victim of violence. In each instance, Hanover made it clear that said abuse wasn't acceptable but that doesn't justify his constant framing of woman as victim Read More nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Also, numerous copy-editing errors, which is especially annoying considering I paid full price for this last year. (
