When you leave the original storyline on a pause, this is how the saga should unfold towards a satisfying ending. The first book closed on all sorts of cliffhangers, so it’s hard not to imagine how this sequel kicks off with the discovery of mysterious bag of bones.

Where the first novel presents the background of the four mysterious children and their secretive lives, this book is more focused on filling their individual backgrounds and what happened when they left the aforementioned house of horrors. So, it’s no surprising that we hear the storyline from the perspective of different characters who are connected with the house by one way or another.
