House of Secrets: Book 1

Product Information

I highly recommend this book, if you want to learn more about true horror and don't have any triggers. Gory or bloody scenes involve the removal of an arrow and improvised stitches, an eyeball pierced by an arrow, a couple of fatal stabbings, talk of the pirate captain's penchant for vivisection, and murder with a flaming mace. Didn't grab me, the characters were very hard to care about and the intrigue is barely enough to make you slog through the rest to solve the mystery of Benedict Arnold's bible. In someways this case made me think of "The Family" and "Helter Skelter" since both cases are so complex, but there are other similarities in the heinous misuse of Biblical source material to confirm the patriarch as the undisputed and unquestioned spider at the center of an unholy web of twisted doctrine. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis.

One chapter would describe an experience from a Sexton child and the next chapter would discuss a situation experienced from a witness that occurred months or years prior. Half the time they would refer to the children as their nicknames, and the other half with their real names. When Hazel Nash was a little girl her father, who had his own TV show ( The House of Secrets) told her about finding a small leather book in Benedict Arnolds chest.Not like other true crime books did with killings and blood — this book had those, too — what made me sick was that this was a family. Eddie Lee Sexton repeatedly raped his daughters, sons, and granddaughters, "married" his daughters in secret ceremonies, killed and abused family pets, and fathered several of his own grandchildren. There's a clear temptation for the Walker siblings in the form of the Book of Doom and Desire, and they must do something selfish and impulsive to make it appear.

Netflix India 2021 slate announced: From Fabulous Lives season 2 and Kapil Sharma to Abbas-Mustan's next, see full list". Of, course, there are several more things I like about this book, but I really wanted to point out just those three things since a good thriller, with a strong main character and the promise of sequels is perhaps something that will appeal not just to me, but to others. His newest thriller, The Escape Artist, introduces Nola and Zig, brand new characters in a setting that will blow your mind (you won't believe where the government let Brad go).She claims to be the "Wind Witch" and the daughter of the original owner of the house, Denver Kristoff. The pacing is spot on, as secrets are revealed little by little, always squeezing an audible gasp of shock from me. Characters featured in the comics were Mark Merlin, a modern-day sorcerer, Moolah the Mystic, Doctor Rocket and many more.
