This story was a very worthy follow-up from Petals on the Wind. I couldnt put it down. Told from the perspective of Jory and Bart (Cathy's sons), this tells the story of their lives. Everything was fine until a mysterious old lady moves in next door, shattering the saftey bubble that Cathy and Chris had placed around their family. Bart takes a liking to this lady as he feels nobody understands him, and when she asks him to call her "Grandmother" and her butler "John Amos Jackson" starts to tell Bart tales of horror about his family things take a turn for the worse. Especially when the freaky butler gives him the journal of Malcolm Neal Foxworth and tells young Bart to read it every day. Jory suspects his brother is going crazy and all the family start to feel wary of him. Slowly the secrets that Cathy and Chris thought they had buried come to light and the family must cope in every way. This story has twists and turns in unlikley places and it is truly a thriller among thrillers. I cannot wait to start Seeds of Yesterday and then read the Prequel.

The Dollanganger saga continues...

Written from the perspective of Cathy's sons Jory and Bart, this is a gripping and worthy follow-up to the previous books. Some may find some scenes distasteful (animal lovers in particular) but all in all a satisfying read which keeps you turning the pages.

I found this book both gripping and emotional. An amazing folow-on from Flowers in the attic as the children try to carry on with their lives. I could not put it down and highly recomend it to anyone, Virginia Andrews Fans or not.

This book is both gripping and emotional, the plight of the remaining three children grips the reader to the end and leaves you screaming and crying for the next installment. A must read for all Virginia Andrews fans.

I read V.C. Andrews' If There Be Thorns. At the end of Flowers in the Attic, I hated Corrine so badly. In Petals on the Wind, I didn't care much for her, but in If There Be Thorns, it made me feel so unbelivably sorry for Corrine. No matter how bad she treated her children, I still think that Cathy should have forgiven her. Oh well, when I read Seeds of Yesterday, I'll review that. TTFN (Ta-Ta for now)
