I was bored and didn’t care about any of the characters. This series basically consists of a bunch of interconnected short stories and I find that short stories don’t give me enough time to really connect to any of the characters. I’m going to give the third one a shot and then decide whether to finish this series or abandon it. ( ) Re-read. Things continue to go bad within the town of Blackstone. The local family-run independent bank, is in the midst of an audit, which has put a halt on the renovation of the old asylum into a shopping center. Jules Hartwick had been fairly positive about the outcome of the audit, as he hadn't done anything illegal, only gave out loans to some townsfolk in need that other banks wouldn't have. Plus his daughter was getting married to a man he more than approved of, someone who believed in banking the way he and his ancestors did, someone who would hopefully take over running the bank when he was ready to retire, thus keeping it in the family. Life was good. But the Hartwicks have been targeted by the dark figure, who leaves a present in the car of Jules' wife Madeline. Jules found the locket wrapped up in his wife's car. As soon as he touched the locket something within him snapped. He accused his wife of having an affair and goes on an insane rampage. Before the end, he sends a message of warning to Oliver Metcalf that evil was all around them and that it needed to be stopped before it killed them all. Yeah, lots more people are gonna die! This series is very creepy and equally thrilling. The Blackstone Chronicles Part 2 Twist of Fate: The Locket By John Saul This is the second part of the Blackstone Chronicles, it starts very much like the first a mysterious figure leaves a memento from the asylum for someone to find. The object then causes chaos for that particular family last time it was a doll and this time it is a locket that causes the one in possession of it, in this case Jules Hartwick the owner of the First National of Blackstone, to become excessively paranoid. This book is extremely fast paced the entire thing takes place in the matter of a couple of days, the suspenseful parts occur only in one day. I personally don’t mind the time frame, but considering it only took me about three hours to finish it I would probably be extremely upset if I had to wait for another installment after this. All in all I wasn’t impressed by the story as much as the first section of this story line. To me this part was not very scary or even “spooky,” at best I would label it a Thriller.
