Aunt Joyce I agree with all you say. I think the voice might have been a master or just the drugs that were in the woman's blood playing games with her.
Poor Hakan, he really wanted to be with Eli, and was so close.... he mangles his face and his body, but still didn't die... (and I use "poor" in the loosest terms, because I really don't feel that sorry for him, because he was killing for the one he loves). But I think in the end all he wanted to do was die, get away from it all once he was caught, because at the point he was caught, his life was over, no Eli, no "one night", no freedom. He should have stuck to his guns, when he told Eli that he was no longer killing for her, but then again, he became jealous... and jealousy makes people do crazy things.
Lacke and gang are going to be the ones that find out what happen I think. I think this because they have what is close to an eye witness of what happened to Jocke. They are looking and investigating. I think that the cops are going to think that the killings are done with the capturing of Hakan, but I feel like Lacke and his crew will keep on searching to figure out what is going on.
Oskar is starting to become more independent and strong, but who knows how long that is going to last. Eli is good to him right now, but for how long will she be? What will happen when she has to leave, or when people find out what she is, or when, heaven forbid she may attack Oskar?!?!
I feel for Tommy as well. He seems like a very strong character, he just needs to funnel his strong character for good as opposed to bad.
At some point in this story all of these characters are going to connect, and when they do, I wonder what will happen....
You have some good points. Especially regarding Lacke and the gang being the ones that might find out what really happens. And, of course, Tommy. Maybe he will turnout to be the one that will help Oskar when he finds out the true nature of what is going on. Let's find out.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, for a while this book was getting somewhat "racy". I do feel for Hakan because everything he did was for Eli even though he wanted to stop what he was doing. I'm not sure what was meant when Oskar told how much he liked Eli and Eli answered back with the 'even if I wasn't a girl". Not sure what she meant by that, also the white strand in her hair??? Oskar seems as if he going to start to take a stand for himself by doing more in the gym and by asking to work out swimming.Tommy's relationship with Staffan and his mom I'm sure will become more clear. and how it relates to Oskar. Appears that Oskar has a fascination also with the murders (putting articles about the Vallingby murder in a scrapbook) and he was hoping for more murders. And I can't figure out the thrusting of the knife in the tree. Lot of characters to keep track of. Wondering what will happen with Eli and Oskar now with what Hakan did to himself.
