Petals on the Wind by V.C. Andrews

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

2.5

This was readable and entertaining but repetitive, drawn out, poorly written, and poorly conceived. Flowers in the Attic was a successful gothic horror, but, unfortunately, Petals on the Wind fell far from the mark and ended up being a bad soap opera family drama that beggared belief. I’m hoping the next book in the series returns to the horror genre, although I may not read it because this book has a tied-up ending.
