Not as good as the first book, but definitely better than the second, this was another overblown melodrama about the Dolls, this time with more obviously horror inspired themes (demonic children, mysterious black clad women, etc). The narrator switches from Cathy to her two sons and the dual narrator thing worked better than it often does. Lots of fun to be had here, but the ending was a bit meh no reviews | add a review

Now a major Lifetime movie event--Book Three of the Dollanganger series that began with Flowers in the Attic--the novel of forbidden love that captured the world's imagination and earned V.C. Andrews a fiercely devoted fanbase. They hide the shocking truth to protect their children. But someone who knows their dark secret is watching. Christopher and Cathy have made a loving home for their handsome and talented teenager Jory, their imaginative nine-year-old Bart, and a sweet baby daughter. Then an elderly woman and her strange butler move in next door. The Old Woman in Black watches from her window, lures lonely Bart inside with cookies and ice cream, and asks him to call her "grandmother." Slowly Bart transforms, each visit pushing him closer to the edge of madness and violence, while his anguished parents can only watch. For Cathy and Chris, the horrors of the past have come home...and everything they love may soon be torn from them. No library descriptions found. |
