Description As 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?

After many years I came back for an old John Saul novel I missed back then and wasn't disappointed. There is no other author mixing appaling family secrets with horror and ghost appearances like John Saul. You really feel for Melissa and Cora hate Phyllis and cant' believe the stunning details you read about Teri and her former family. Everything takes places in a small village world of inhterited money, a very plausible setting, even today. What about D'Arcy? An absolute page turner withI went into this book knowing almost absolutely nothing and it seriously blew my mind.It would be almost impossible to explain it without spoiling anything - short story, Teri MacIver's parents die in a fire and she's sent to live with her real father in a huge house in a nice little Maine retreat, where she lives with her stepmother and halfsister. There's a ghost, some child abuse, and a lot of death that I probably should have expected but still took me by surprise.I really liked this book.
These books are getting a bit repetitive.
I. Love. It.My favorite characters are D'Arcy and Melissa! What I like are the spooky chapters! The book is now my fave book of all the horrifying books! The important thing I learned about is be nice and be good to people and animals and never harm/murder them! Because you'll never know if they have a ghost friend who will make you pay for every wrong thing you ever done! And you'll suffer in hell just like mean Teri! Melissa has no mean bone in her body so be like Melissa!Thank you John for
This is a story about Teri, who burnt down the house that she lived in, killing her mother and her stepfather. With the death of her mother, Teri is force to move to Secret Cove, with her father and his wife. Charles and Phyllis already have one daughter Melissa. Melissa is always being abused by her mother and can never do anything right. On the other hand, Teri is daughter that she always dreamed of having. Melissa has been sleepwalking for as long as she can remember. Her evil mother
Money, love, jealousy, and murder are the topics of this story in my opinion. How people try to live up to the standards of other and portray themselves as someone they actually are not, and it doesn't matter who they hurt in the process as long as they are getting what it is that they themselves want. A girl ends up moving in with her father and stepmother and step sister after her real mother and stepfather die in a blazing house fire. She befriends her step sister (under falseness) and begins
Haven't been this upset/angry while reading a book since "A Child Named 'It'" and while thankfully the book ended well I wish more justice (and bloodshed) was served
