Upon Jamie releasing the vampire he drains his blood and asks him what year it is. What he finds is a vampire who has been chained in a coffin. It’s actually something he never expects to find. What Jamie finds in one of the caves is not what he expects to find. He has only ended up in Hawks Harbor because his friend, Kellen Quinn, has gone there to try to scam his ex-wife. The area of Hawkes Harbor is rumored to have a treasure and Jamie is all over that. Roanoke is mentioned in relation to the area. From the description of the area, I assume this place is in Virginia or North Carolina on the coast. He is from a place called Hawkes Harbor and lives in a place called Hawkes Hall. The man paying for Jamie’s stay at the mental institution is a man named Grenville Hawkes. In Jamie’s head we find out the reason for this. Fourth of all, he’s immensely scared of the dark. Third of all, Jamie is no hyper-sensitive to pain. Second of all, Jamie has been shot three times. First of all, Jamie was transferred from another much worse mental institution where he was, no doubt, abused and neglected. Apparently, if a shark rubs up against you it can mess up your skin pretty badly.Īs exciting as Jamie’s tales of alcohol, sailing, cocaine, and whorehouses are, the good doctor doesn’t feel any of this is what caused Jamie to be in the state he is in. Jamie has his share of run-ins, including a run-in with pirates and a shark on the same day. He sailed around the world after the navy getting into fights and running guns for the conflict in Ireland. Jamie begins to relay a tale about traveling the world. What has happened to Jamie?įor the longest time Jamie does not talk to the psychologist, Dr. Jamie is deathly scared of the dark and needs medications to function on the most basic level.
We pick up with him again twenty years later in a mental institution. We leave Jamie at eight going to a terrible place. There is nowhere for Jamie to go, but to an orphanage. His mother has just died and his father is dead as well. What I can say, that this is honestly the first time I have encountered book that involves pirates, vampires and mental illness all at the same time. I don’t know whether it’s cliché or it’s one of a kind. I don’t know whether to cheer the ending or lament it. I don’t know whether it’s brilliant or it’s not. I wouldn’t really say confused with bad connotations, I just don’t know what to think of this book. Hinton is a book that has left me a little confused.
