But when the truth is exposed, she can't stay silent.... After tragedy tears her family apart, Jordan March is shipped off by her domineering Grandmother Emma to live with Emma's long-forgotten sister. Shuttered in a rundown farmhouse, Aunt Frances is the strangest person Jordan has ever met. Why has Grandmother hidden away this fragile, harmless woman -- did Frances grow up much too fast, like Jordan did? In the shadows of the farmhouse, Jordan is about to unearth the shattering truth -- and the March family will never be the same...." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - SadThis is nothing like a real VCA book, or even the books that the ghostwriter started out with (Cutler, Landry) So this girl hit puberty early? Big deal? The "secrets" revealed within this book are hardly shocking or thrilling, and the fact that there's just two books in this series shows the author's lack of effort. It's clear that he just doesn't care anymore about writing a good story. Rating: - Hated itIt's my own fault for not researching the book before I bought it, but I thought I was purchasing a novel. This falls more into the "Babysitter's Club" genre. I would put it at a third or fourth grade reading level, though I wouldn't actually recommend someone that age read it, due to some bizarre and unnecessary events and character traits. The plot was weak and the character development was inconsistent, not to mention the author's flagrant use of race/class stereotypes. The characters ...

My daughter had bought this book for me, not knowing I get them for my mother. Of course they were sold out locally, and I had to get Mom's!! She's as bad as I am about being afraid of missing one of the books...lol! Most of the books are in a series anyway. I'd recommend the books to anyone...and do. Rating: - PredictableThe conclusion to the Early Spring Series was so predictable, if you don't guess the family secret in this one I would be extremely surprised. This book also seemed a little sloppy in plot, and characters particularly those of Jordan's brother Ian, and her father seemed to take major personality U-turns that had little explanation. The book was concluded in a way that left alot of characters dangling without explanation and without a point. The friendship between Jordan and her older friends seemed ...

I didn't find myself falling in love with the characters as I did with other novels, and I felt that the end was sloppy. Some aspects of the plot were left undeveloped. I've read all of VC Andrews' books (and those of the ghostwriter), and this was definitely my least favorite. |
