Once I got to the part where Harriet (Harry) left the tape recording playing and Edward didn’t even flinch or confront her, I knew! Even though, I couldn’t quite figure out the ‘why’ at the time but, I knew at that moment. Harry really dropped the ball many times but every time, Edward kept pushing and something about that was ‘off’ to me.

The whole family is crazy, which is something that I wanted to explore further – I wish there was a book just about this family and how they got to the point of these awful games. Not one person in this family (save for the children) was redeemable. The games this family plays are for psychopaths!

As the story unfolds at the very end, I wasn’t shocked but I still don’t understand the ‘why’. How it was explained, didn’t make sense to me to risk it all for what?! Also, why was the list of women needed? That didn’t push the plot forward. Again, not one adult in this family, married into or otherwise, had any redeeming qualities.

I’m diving back into reading and taking my time to really enjoy each book—soaking up the writing, analyzing the characters, and seeing what makes a story stick (or miss the mark). Right here is where I write honest, no-fluff reviews.
