“A girl growing up in the ghetto of D.C suddenly finds out that the family she has been living with all her life is not her real family. Several family things happen and her mother decides to send her back to her real family to live. When she becomes involved with her "real" family she learns that they are filled with secret and lies. She is trying to determine why things are so secretive in this family and why so many lies. The end of the book leaves you hanging for the second one...leaves things unfinished so to say. I'm looking forward to reading the second book in this series "Lightning Strikes".”

“This is listed as a horror book but I didn't find anything horrific about it. It was sad in some parts but in others it brightened. I think that the author should have given more backbone to Rain's mother as she gave me the impression of a coward.

I don't think this is a book I would ever own. I may read it again if I am bored but it was an ok book. Definitely not jumping out of the page and grabbing your attention.”
“I have read this before, so this is getting a review before I am done with it a second time. This is a pretty typical V.C. Andrews book. If you have read any of her other series you can figure this one out pretty much right away. I forgot how much emotion Andrews, in this case her ghost writer, can convey. She draws you into the character's world so quickly. The story, like I said, is pretty predictable Andrews and the writing isn't a literary masterpiece but these are fun quick reads.”

“Rain has fought to be the best daughter she can: she studies hard and gets good grades; she helps her mother cook and clean. And unlike her defiant younger sister, she avoids the dangers of the city streets as if her life depends on it...and it does. But Rain can't suppress the feeling that she has never truly fit in, that she is a stranger in her own world. Then one fateful night, Rain overhears something she shouldn't: a heartbreaking revelation from the past, a long-buried secret that is about to change her life in ways she never could have imagined. In the blink of an eye, everything Rain has ever known -- the family she has loved and the familiar place she has called home is left behind, and Rain is sent to live with total strangers, the wealthy Hudson family. But just as she did not belong to the troubled world she was raised in, Rain is also out of place in this realm of luxury and privilege. With nowhere to turn, Rain finds an escape in the theater, inside the walls of an exclusive private school. But will it be enough to fulfill her heart's deepest wish -- and give her a place to call home?”
