Commentary During Books Second Child

Secret Cove. Ruggedly beautiful and remote, bordered by dark woods and deserted beaches, this postcard-perfect village harbors the mansions of the wealthy—families who have summered in splendid seclusion at Secret Cove for generations. Here, one hundred years ago, on the night of the annual August Moon Ball, a shy and lovely servant girl committed a single, unspeakable act of violence—an act so shocking its legacy lives still. And now, long after the horror of that night has faded to a tale whispered by children around summer camp fires, an unholy terror is about to be reborn. Now, one family is about to feel the icy hand of supernatural fear—as Melissa Holloway, shy and troubled and just thirteen years old, comes to know the blood-drenched secret that waits behind a locked attic door... For in the dead of night a Secret Cove sleeps unaware, a soul-chilling presence slowly begins to enact a terrifying vengeance. Second Child: It is unspeakable evil merely Melissa's nightmares made horrifyingly real? Is it the manifestation of deadly fury risen from the grave? Or is the heart-stopping horror soon to be unleased in Secret Cove something even more insidious--something unimaginably evil...and alive?

I was completely creeped out by this book! It has been years since I read it but I can still remember not wanting to turn out the lights! Great fun! Spooky read!

I enjoyed this book the same way I enjoyed The Room, in a its so bad its good type of way. While the writing isnt terrible there were little things I found annoying, like how he started way to many sentences with For. For she knew, For if she did, For it was....once I noticed that it was hard to ignore. The story itself was pretty good and similar in a lot of ways to the other John Saul book Ive read, The Unloved. A secluded rich community, cruel mothers, family secrets, clueless fathers, and

This is the first John Saul novel I've read. I had friends back in the late 70's and early 80's who liked his novels, but none of them appealed to me at the time. Looking at the plots back then, they all seemed to be the same type of novel about "haunted" children. I'm not a big fan of novels with children as the main protagonists. Teenagers and older are fine, but kids under 12 with ESP or telekinesis, or the ability to communicate with ghosts don't appeal to me. They never seem real. They're

Let me start by saying, it scares the crap out of me to think there are actually people like this walking around. EVIL. I HATED a couple of these characters. H.A.T.E.D.! I got so frustrated reading this book; somebody besides me HAD to see what was going on! What the heck, dad!? Maybe that's why this took me so long to get through it.That being said, and without dropping any spoilers, Ill just say I was happy to see how it ended, although this was another one of those that seemed to very quickly
