I agree. I can understand that he turned down the wrong path, but he just continued to follow that path instead of turning around.

I feel the same way. If he was going to kill himself why did he care if Hilary went home or not? Or, maybe he was so tortured that he had been so greedy and didn't protect Bridget. Still, he should never have taken Claire and done what he did to her!jdraper16 wrote: ↑10 Mar 2020, 09:28 I also did not care for Seamus, I feel that he should have taken the chance to make things right without dragging little Claire into it and terrorizing her. If he was going to put himself out there and attempt to end his life anyway, why didn't he just come clean to the authorities or even Ed? Why nearly kill the little girl, too?

I don’t see his character carrying over to the next book unless it is also set in Ireland.

There is always room for anyone to change, but that doesn't make change easy or likely.

Agreed. I kept expecting Seamus to redeem himself in the end, but disappointingly, he didn't.B Creech wrote: ↑10 Mar 2020, 12:41I feel the same way.

I know, I was hoping he would too. Perhaps he was so torn between not protecting Bridgett and being caught in the middle of the amusement park deal he finally lost his grip on reality. He let his greed outweigh his heart and knew it was wrong, but it was too late.MirageP wrote: ↑14 Mar 2020, 13:01Agreed.

No, it is not the way I would want to be treated either! I don't think he will show up in the next book either.Barbara6886 wrote: ↑10 Mar 2020, 12:58 Seamus used the excuse of being the second son and having to make his own way to justify his bad deeds. He knew Bridget was in danger and didn’t just tell her the truth. Not the way I would like to be treated by someone who claims to love me.
I don’t see his character carrying over to the next book unless it is also set in Ireland.
