Melody Logan knew her beautiful mother, Haille, was unhappy in their hardscrabble mining town.... But with her wonderful father's unwavering love, Melody always felt safe -- until a dreadful mine accident ripped her from her family's moorings. She was still devastated by her father's death when she left West Virginia with Haille to follow her mother's dream of becoming a model or actress. But first they stopped in Cape Cod to visit her father's family at last. Melody knew only that her grandparents had disowned their son when he married Haille -- just because she was an orphan, her mother said. Yet moments after Melody first laid eyes on dour, Bible-spouting Uncle Jacob, nervous Aunt Sara, and her cousins -- handsome Cary, whose twin, Laura, had been killed recently in a sailing accident, and sweet, deaf little May -- Haille announced that Melody was to live with them. Sleeping in Laura's old room, Melody was awash in a sea of grief and confusion, with only her beloved fiddle to comfort her. Then Cary revealed the truth he'd gleaned about her parents -- a sad shocking story that only puzzled her more. Melody knew nothing of the dark deceptions that would soon surface...the devastating betrayals she would face before she glimpsed the faint, beckoning lights of a safe harbor....… (more)

It has been many years since I have read an Andrew's book/series. I enjoyed touching base with my young mind and have the others in the series on the way. Guess I am a bit nostalgic, I remember reading the Flowers in the Attic series in high school and the
Casteel books (guess I am showing my age). I give it a thumbs up, as it is what I expected. I am not sure how the books get the horror genre tag, as to me they are more drama..... ( )

Can't say I really cared for this book, took me forever to finish because I just couldn't get into it~! I did read the whole series, but not in order, maybe that's why??

I don't remember much from this book, it's been a while sense I read it. But I know for sure I liked it enough to read the rest of the series. ( )

This was better than some of the older books as far as smut goes. I have made a decision to not buy any more VC Andrews books because they are all the same type of plotline with different characters and place settings. ( )

I LOVE VC Andrews and her books! This book is a sequel to the book before this one and so on. I can’t help but to love how the detail and the writing is so intricate and delightful. My favorite author of all time and it will never change. I wish she was still alive to continue more books. Whoever her ghost writer is, PLEASE write more!!!
