![]() ![]() I can’t imagine you taking Bode in the car. KINSEY: Christ, you’ve already been drinking. Like he isn’t dealing with a few things himself. Waking Tyler up in the middle of the night to cry all over him. KINSEY: - But I have a harder time forgiving you for being a shitty, irresponsible drunk. I can forgive YOU for being suspicious and mean and angry all the time – after what you went through in Willits, you’ve earned it – ![]() NINA: I turned a blind eye to you tiptoeing into the house the other day after you went for a swim with those boys till almost dark. The magic is rich, and the artwork is beautiful, but in the end this series is entirely character-driven. Joe Hill draws flaws with the grace of a master. She’s a hip and beautiful widow, a not-gonna-talk-about-it rape survivor, and an openly alcoholic mom. Of all the characters, Nina moves me the most. The heart of the book, however, is with Nina in the final pages. And they go! To the drowning cave! Hooray! Kinsey is showing her steel now, and she has two adorable boys (fast-talking Scot Kavanaugh and “I’m not your ethnic sidekick” Jamal Saturday) who are both semi-secretly in love with her. How have you been? Is death treating you okay? Three books in, we circle back to see our very first baddie, the wonderfully named Sam Lesser.Īh, Sam. Amazingly, Joe Hill is sticking to the high standard he set in the very first book of Locke & Key. ![]()
