It's so dark!!! There were many scenes in this book that made me suuuper uncomfortable but it was well written and I was glued to the page with need to find out more of the story. 
That ending though! What a twist!

4.5

Second book in the Mayfair Trilogy. Less captivating than the first book but still interesting. You see Lasher as less of a haunting figure and more of a vulnerable confused child in this one and it makes you feel sorry for him. I was bothered by everyone’s blind acceptance of Mona and Michael. It didn’t seem consistent.
