He confides in his friend Mina and together they bring the mysterious creature out into the sunlight, which will change their lives forever. To get out of the way, Michael explores the old garage and sees a strange being hiding beneath cobwebs and dirt. At just ten, Michael feels as though he cannot do anything to help out.

His parents are frantic and worried about what will happen to their daughter. His younger sister becomes severely ill and close to death. I just feel like thats an epic no-no and would probably make for an extremely awkward wedding.įor Michael, after moving into his new home, life takes a frantic turn. No way I’d marry the son of the man who killed my father for no-good-reason. Listen bitch, if my father murdered some dude, my first thought would not be “THAT ROTTEN MAN MADE MY FATHER KILL HIM!”Īnyway, everyone gets a happy ending and the feud is sort-of resolved, which is something else I don’t really like. “I hate those rotten Cruthfields! They stole my father away from me!” (Her father murdered the father of the Cruthfield family) She keeps up the idea that she dislikes the Crutchfields for all their wrong doings- (Which seem to be nothing other then selling the land they own) while making up reasons why it’s cool, no big fucking deal that she’s in love with the Crutchfield’s son.

For me, she was boring and incredibly selfish. Kaitlin is not a very likable main character. The story is an obvious take off of the famous Hatfield-McCoy feud. It’s not that it’s bad per say, the writing was actually very well done - but more so because its just the same old story. I honestly wasn’t that much of a fan of this book. This legacy of hatred has never been questioned–until Kaitlin meets a boy and begins to fall in love with him before she discovers that he is a Crutchfield … and the son of the man her father has gone to prison for killing. Kaitlin Malone has been raised to hate the Crutchfields, relatives the Malones have feuded with for as long as Kaitlin can remember.
