V.C. Andrews
Now a major Lifetime movie event, from New York Times bestselling author and literary phenomenon V.C. Andrews (Flowers in the Attic, My Sweet Audrina) comes the fourth installment in the classic story of the Casteel family saga. Stunned by tragedy, a young woman finds herself desperate and alone, and clinging to the frailest of dreams. Can Heaven’s daughter find the inner strength to survive? The car crash that killed Heaven and Logan left Annie Casteel Stonewall orphaned and crippled. Whisked off to Farthinggale Manor by the possessive Tony Tatterton, Annie pines for her lost family, but especially for Luke, her half-brother. Friend of her childhood, her fantasy prince, her loving confidante…without the warm glow of Luke’s love, she is lost in the shadows of despair. When Annie discovers Troy’s cottage hidden in Farthinggale’s woods, the mystery of her past deepens. And even as she yearns to see Luke again, her hopes and dreams are darkened by the sinister Casteel spell…treacherous, powerful, and evil.

"SPOILER HIDDEN IN HERE!<br/><br/>After reading this ENTIRE series, I have to say that the confusion through the first books makes sense and is very clear and well connected in this final book. It is nicely wrapped up, written excellently and captured me enough to read the entire series. If you have not read the Wolf Pact series, (as I have not), the story line is brought in however written so the reader is not lost on who they are, what they are trying to accomplish.<br/>My only disappointment was that at the end of the book, everything worked out. There is heartache and torture in this entire series only to have everything solved?! I think that it should have been a little more realistic (yes, I know--this is a fictitious book) in the the fact that not everything works out and everyone ends up together.<br/><br/>Recommendation for anyone wanting to go through this series and read via e-book. Either don't read on an e-book or make notes. I am a person who truly wants to follow the entire story and with the ever-changing names and scenarios through different lives, it would have been better than I could flip back to know exactly what was being referred to--or had taken notes. However, that is me. I honestly don't know many readers who take notes on books."
