  Another quite complicated book, right from the beginning of the book, evil loomed in that household for unexplainable reasons. Spiritual, mysterious. One would have mistaken Ikenna’s outburst as normal teenage problems, the withdrawal, and all. But it was beyond this, evil was bound to happen and as if compelled by a force to move into doom, he kept making mistakes. Also, the importance of jointly raising children as parents were emphasized, especially boys, they tend to need male models and boundaries to be established because once caution is thrown to the wind it could be very deadly and dangerous even for the family. On each page, there is particular suspense that hangs in the air and makes you want to proceed to the next page to find out. Quite enjoyable to read but also unpredictable and not your regular kind of story.

Aunty Morenikeji’s was a sad one also, it was an obvious power play and a game of oppression by chief Komolafe. There a...
