Now, trapped in the labyrinthine Foxworth estate, young Corrine is overwhelmed with her stifled life and domineering husband. When an artist is hired to paint her portrait, she immediately falls in love and is convinced to abandon this dark world forever, unaware that her decision could have far-reaching consequences that linger for generations…
REVIEW:
2.5 Hearts I read Flowers In The Attic decades ago. We all know that story. Besides the fact it was THE book of the time, they made movies and everyone discussed it. But over 3 decades ago V.C. Andrews actually passed away. But they brought in ghost writers and continued the stories and even went back and told the stories BEFORE the original book. Problem is the writing is just not our V.C. Andrews. I put off reading anything that was not from the original author until this book came up on NetGalley, now I remember why.
The writing is terrible. It doesn’t flow the way the original books were. It is almost like “How many shocking things can we put into one book? Oh let’s add one more.” The original books felt like we were reading a documentary not smut. As if it had really happened. Like you can imagine the rich could do something so off the wall. This book? Nope!
Honestly, this is not worth the read if you are a fan of the original author.
