I haven't disliked a book this much in a long time. First, it's so slow and almost entirely inner dialogue. Tediously descriptive. My interest was lost fairly quick and I had a very difficult time getting through this book. Ended up doing more skimming than quality reading. None of the characters were lovable or had any redeeming qualities. And I mean, NONE! Even the son wasn't likeable by the end. This whole family is just...a bunch of psychos. The whole story was fairly predictable. Verity was a terrible person and Lowen and Jeremy having an affair in the same home as his "sick/injured" wife gave me the ick! The only reason I finished this was because it was a recommendation from a family member and she enjoyed it. On my own I would've DNF'd this one when Lowen started reading Verity's journal. If you know why, you know why. This just wasn't a book for me.
