Book Haven discussion

There aren't many books which I've found so hard to put down, but this one went to bed with me, bathed with me and I even managed to cook and eat dinner while still reading it.
The story is creepy and horrifying at times, but set in a modern day normal lifestyle making it real and uncomfortable, loving and heartbreaking.
The characterisation of the mother is brilliantly done. Such a complicated, mood swinging woman is often hard to pull off genuinely, but this author has not only nailed this realistically, she has also created perfect interaction with how the other characters respond it this woman. In particular her son, Adam, who the story is primarily about.
Without spoiling the plot, Adam is understandably messed up by his family life and strange tales and myths of his elders and ancestors. His world is full of secrets and dark places. He suffers much loss and mental strain not helped by visions and a very creepy talking doll!
I'd love to tell you more, but then you wouldn't need to read what the future has waiting for Adam to deal with. Adam's Cross

This looks like a good one...:)
