Typical V. C. Andrews book with insinuating incest when it's really not, there is a rape, an unwanted and unexpected pregnancy when the child is torn from the mother, typical V. C. Andrews ( )

Fifth - and final - volume in the spellbinding Cutler family saga. DARKEST HOUR takes us back to the story of Dawn's grandmother Lillian, and a thriving plantation called The Meadows. Lillian's happy life is shattered when her sister Emily reveals the shocking secret of her birth. And her heart is torn anew when, in a drunken haze, her father subjects her to the most brutal degradation. Then he loses The Meadows in a card game, and Lillian is faced with a new and terrifying prospect: arrogant, handsome playboy Bill Cutler will return the plantation - only if Lillian will marry him. Too frightened to defy her father, Lillian is forced to leave her childhood home behind, and make a bold new beginning as the mistress of a hotel called Cutler's Cove.

As many others I have a hard time understanding why Lillian Cutler changed from Angel to demon in the rest of the series. I am slowly trying to read all of V.C. Andrews published works and the Cutler series did not disappoint. I guess so many years ago I fell in Love with Flowers in the Attic so I figured I would check out the rest of the series.. This one was good not the best so far but still pretty brilliant. ( )

This book was so great.

I really felt for Lillian after Eugenia died.
Then I knew, my outlook on her was different. ( )
