This was one of those books where, in my opinion, not a whole lot happened. Perhaps I am used to the ‘murder most foul' genre, where brutal attacks are my forte, so this was mild. However, I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed the fact that, even though nothing happened, it was a true study in the human personality. I was fascinated by the author's explanation of the powerful women in the Owens' family and the personalities that were true magic. I am really looking forward to reading the other 2 (prequels?) I am still trying to get down what order they should be in. Anyways, the movie used to scare me when I was younger (ask Trish), but I believe that was on account of the brutal beating scene with Gillian and maybe the death? Oh how I've grown from that lol. Anyways, ramble aside, this was a good story about women who stick together through the thick of it all.
