Summary: One of My Favorite John Saul Books
Review: After killing her parents in a house fire in San Fernando, California, 14-year-old Teri MacIver is taken in by her real father and his family (wife: Phyllis; daughter: Melissa) in affluent Secret Cove, Maine. While "Second Child" begins with Teri, it's her half sister (Melissa Holloway) that's more of the protagonist--or at least the one the reader feels the most sympathy for. Both girls have their own secrets--Teri's being she's a killer, and Melissa's being she has an imaginary friend (D'Arcy) that's actually a ghost who resides in the attic, inhabiting Melissa's body whenever her abusive mother punishes her, which is quite often. Once Teri discovers this secret, she uses Melissa's weak mental health to her advantage, hoping to knock her out of the picture so she can have the kind of life she thinks she deserves, in Melissa's place.I read "Second Child" either in middle or high school (I don't remember which), so it's appropriate for readers that young, since they can probably relate easier to the teen characters in this book. Like most of Saul's books, "Second Child" has a supernatural twist to it, linking D'Arcy to events that happened 100 years ago in Secret Cove. Horror fans should definitely like this one.

Summary: Good Book
Review: I have just recently started reading Saul's books. I read a lot of King and Koontz but have decided to give Saul a try. So far it has proven to be a good idea. I like his style of writing and I also like the way he ends his books. He kind of leaves them hanging instead of having the typical happy, everybody wins endings that most authors use. This book was good. It is only the second John Saul book that I have read so I don't have much to compare it to as far as his writing goes. It is an easy read and I recommend it.

Summary: Saul is Consistent
Review: I have read a lot of John Saul books. When I bought this one I was worried that I would be burnt out on the same writer. However, Saul maintains a high standard in storytelling. Even if you can guess the plot, the way the story moves is always entertaining. Saul is consistently good.

Summary: Great!
Review: I loved this book! It starts out great and doesn't stop there. Although it does have some supernatural twists to it, the book is more of a "good guy gets screwed by bad guy" type of novel. Unfortunatley, as one reviewer commented, it does leave some wondering to the imagination at the conclusion. However, as with any book, most are left to wonder, and I still think this is one of (if not the best) Saul novel to date.
