Description
Cass Adams comes from a long line of crazy, and she fears passing that on to her unborn child. Also, she’s run over Roland and Clay’s surprise half brother Britt, landing him in the hospital. With her inner demons coming out to haunt her, she doesn’t know if she should keep the baby.
Clay Adams has his own decisions to make. His half brother shows up to tell him their father, Freddy, is still alive but needs a liver transplant. When Freddy blew out of town thirty-five years ago, secrets were buried. But it’s time for them to be dug up, because only then can Clay hope to lay the past to rest.
Call Me Daddy is a story of family, the secrets they keep, and to what lengths someone would go to protect them.
This sequel to They Call Me Crazy can be read as a standalone novel.
"Kids always think they can handle their parents' secrets at any age. That is, until they hear them"
I think this quote from the book sums it up well.
As stated this book can be read as a stand alone novel, but personally I would recommend that you read "They Call Me Crazy" first. I find it a bit difficult to review without giving away too much of the first book, I think it is important to have a better understanding of these characters and what they have been through in the first story in order to relate to them in part 2. I enjoyed the sequel but I don't think I would have cared so much for Cass and her ordeal if I had not read the first book and been aware of her past.
This sequel to They Call Me Crazy picks up just about where we left off. Cass and Clay are still together and Cass still goes out to the hill on occasion to talk to dead people.
Things are going fairly well for the happy couple until Cass accidently hits a man with her truck who turns out to be Clay's half brother. It seems Clay's father is not so long lost after all, but has been alive and well and started a whole new life for himself until he wound up needing a liver transplant from so many years of heavy drinking.
When Cass finds out she's going to have a baby she questions whether or not she would be able to take care of it, and whether or not she should even try. Though there is plenty of reason in this book to question whether or not having a baby with Clay would be a good idea, again I think it is important to the story to have read the first book.
4 out of 5 stars from me.
I received a complimentary copy for review.
