I think Michael received or realized his powers to help Rowan destroy Lasher and break this family curse. He's meant to "see" something about Lasher.
It's confusing at this point in the book as they're talking about all the generations and whose related to who, who received the necklace next, etc. I keep thinking in the back of my mind, do I need to remember this? Will this person be of importance in the future? You know what I mean?
Then I think back to the beginning of the book, why didn't the aunts let Deirdre be normal? Why did they keep her in a drug induced state? Did Lasher do something prior to Deirdre's time so bad that they (the family) figured out he was pure evil? Is that why Rowan was adopted and told never to go back?
So many questions ......

I had never realized it before but you guys are right Michael and Pyter are a lot alike. As the book goes on there are some pretty disturbing parts. I don't want to say too much because I don't know where everyone is. I've noticed a lot of people saying that. I bet our conversations get better when everyone finishes the book and we can all go into more detail. I don't remember what chapter I'm in but it's still in the Mayfair history. I'm in the years around 1920.
I like Anne's writing better before she returned to the catholic church too. I didn't like her Christ books at all. She writes in such a gothic style that it didn't really fit with what she was writing about.

Was thinking about this overnight (answering my own questions LOL) -- the reason the aunts kept Diedra in a drug induced state and had Rowan adopted was because they wanted to get rid of Lasher. They wanted to break the cycle/curse. But then why wouldn't they ask for help from the Talamasca (spelling)? I'm sure they know of them. You would think that they would welcome the help.
Hope everyone has a great day -- I'll try and check in later tonight
PS Good Luck Jdlovr07! Is this your first?

I read some of Chapter 15 last night and Jdlovr you are right! Very disturbing! I had to put the book down b/c I got so disgusted. Honestly, I'm having a hard time getting past these past few Chapters. I was right with you last night about Pyter being like Micheal until I read more of Chapter 15. I lost all respect for Pyter. Is anyone else having as hard of a time with this as I am?

Yeah it gets pretty disturbing and from what I can tell it stays that way. The Mayfair's are one screwed up family. I'm not convinced the aunts kept Deirdre drugged to help her. There had to be better ways to get rid of Lasher. When you guys get to where I am you'll understand what I'm trying to say. Lol. I think the one aunt, Carlotta, is kind of evil.

I would like to say it gets better doodle, but it doesn't. At least they don't go into all the details like Petry and Charlotte -- cringe cringe cringe
Have a great evening everyone

Chapter 15 is disturbing but I get why Rice did it.

So it wouldn't let me post another thing untill someone else posted so I'm just going to edit this one. Things on the VMB have been really crazy lately with all the spamming and deleting... I mean it's getting outrageous. I'm thinking that we should start another board somewhere else and bring a bunch of the people over. Some place that's set up better. Maybe something like this with the different emoticons and stuff. To be honest the only reason I'm still on the VMB is because I like talking to a lot of the people. I would do it myself but I don't have the first idea on how to start a message board. What do you guys think?
