After an odyssey of heartbreak and betrayal in the wake of losing both her parents, it was mere chance that led April Taylor to the secluded home of a kindly elderly woman and her deaf teenaged granddaughter. There, April found a shelter from her mixed-up life, and from the confusion that severed her relationship with her sister, Brenda, after an encounter with Brenda's girlfriend, Celia. But when a dangerous couple arrives with greedy intentions, April's survival depends on being true to the one person she's never fully accepted: herself.

Now, don't get me wrong, this is not a clone of My Sweet Audrina, in fact, the storyline is nothing like it. However, I could feel the same stange, haunting, lonely undertones as that long ago V. C. Andrews masterpiece. A young girl surrounded by some strange and sinister people who finds her muster when she most needs it.
April's adventure in this book was a little unexpected. I thought there would be more of Brenda, but her absence (until the end of the book) is not noticed. Instead April turns out to be rock of strength of Brenda always hoped she would be and encouraged her to be. In fact, we are left questioning. What is April's sexuality? Does it really matter? I was glad to see Mr. Neiderman was braver in this book and didn't hesitate to use the terms gay and lesbian. It made the book so much real!
If you read any of my other V. C. Andrews reviews you will see that I never detail the book chapter by chapter. I just give my general feelings, and they are always good feelings. I am a fan for life. The excitement here is to pick up GIRL IN THE SHADOWS for yourself and find the good stuff for yourself!
My hat is off to Mr. Neiderman again. The sneak peek of BROKEN FLOWER is exhilirating. I cannot wait to the read it when it comes out. My only fear is that the days of V. C. series has come to an end.
A last note... the series RAIN is being made into a movie and the DVD will have the prequel packaged with it, at least that is my understanding. Can't wait! Bravo, Mr. Neiderman, Bravo!
I really enjoyed this. It's slow paced, but very good. Strong characters started in book one continue and get even better. April is ever battling her weight, and Destiny a doll returns to steal the show. This is similar to a lot of other V.C Andrews books and predictable, but there are surprises too. It has all the nastiness you expect including a sick bathtub scene, and a attempted rape scene that actually has you laughing your head off. That sounds bad but, you have to read it to see. It's not as harsh as some and not many secrets, but we don't need them. Also it has a good ending that doesn't leave you sick and depressed. I love April and hope this series never ends.
