About this ebook
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.

The book was a great read just like the others but whoever was responsible for the spell checking and punctuation certainly did not do their job. Many many times I had to to read a couple of times to actually understand what it should be saying. 5*****

It is a very good book, but very poorly edited. It's obvious whomever went over it with spell check didn't bother to make sure the words it suggested made sense. Parts are almost hard to understand.

Love V.C. Andrew's books. You can " if you want to" skip a book or 2 and will still get it, maybe halfway through the book. Have read V.C since jr. High almost 60 now.
