It amuses me that this book was released so early. It shows me that the publisher is getting tired of Neiderman's BS. Of course, I would also attest this to the poor reviews and sales of the last few series that Neiderman wrote.
Like all of Neiderman's more recent books (starting with Rain) these books are ridiculously easy to read, with bad metaphors and similes and cookie-cutter villains with contrived and paper-thin plots that even a soap opera wouldn't pick up.

This was a very good book, but it aggravated me so much I had to read it faster than normal just to see if there was a happy ending.
Poor Delia goes from living in her obnoxious Aunt's house to Adan's father's mansion. He claims he wants to take care of her since his son was killed and she's carrying his child. He provides her with an on-site nurse (from hell) new maternity clothes, shoes, anything she wants. But she is basically a prisoner in his home. She's not permitted to speak with her cousi...more

There was no mention on the book sleeve that this was part of a trilogy. So I read this as a standalone. I don't know if I had grown to like the characters, the story would be more bearable. I found it cliched and boring. The writing didn't grip me, and i was not absorbed by the story at all. I lost attention part way through the chapters. If books are going to be sold separate from others in a set, they should be readable on their own. There was no real explaination about Delia's situation, and...more
I did not realise until I read other reviews here, that this was the final part of a trilogy, perhaps why I did not get my head around Delia's family background. Even the name Delia did not strike me as having any Mexico overtones. The development of the plot was so predictable and nasty, overloaded with emotional blackmail. Mrs Newell brought to mind Mrs Danvers in "Rebecca". Apart from a vague interest in Delia, I found none of the characters likeable. I skipped through the second half just to...more
i love this whole series so much that i literly took my time reading it so i could never finish it. now it is over and i feel like a part of my life is missing. i think all her books are amazing and i love how some way or another i can connect with it. im so sad. i might as well read it again. delia is so inicent and it makes me feel angry while reading what happends to her but ive been in the same situation where someone thinks your always up to no good when thats no the intention at all. sooo...more
This was a good ending to the three book series. I still can't give it a 5 out of 5 though, because some parts were dragging and predictable. I knew right away when Delia had the drug in her system that it was the horrible nurse who had something to do with it. This is one of those books that you know will have a happy ending no matter how much trauma and turmoil the characters have to experience. In the end, people learn their lessons and become more mature and have hope for the future. If this...more

Delia was a dumbshit for most of this book. I was so disappointed because I loved the last one. Has Delia never read an Andrews book!? I predicted everything. I was annoyed because I just wanted things to work out. I hated Fani! Why would you trust her? I actually thought she was working with senor Bovio to make things worst with Delia. I was wrong about that though. The ending saved the book. I wanted a happy ending. One of the better Andrews series of late but still don't like having only 2 or...more
Being the end of the series, I was happy to see everything wrapped up, although, a bit too neatly. Like the others, the movement of the story was very paced and didn't really move until the latter part of the book. A good story overall, but I did wonder if the author understood some of the characters since their personality changes at the end seemed a bit contrived.
If you read one V.C. Andrew book, you've read them all. She recycles the same formula over and over again. The only saving grace is the happy ending. (I'm a kid who was raised on Disney, what can I do? I'm a sucker for the happy endings) It reminded me of the Mexican soap operas I used to watch with my grandma- but not in a good way.
And again, I just kept wondering what else could possible go wrong for this girl!!!?? I thought the ending was....extremely unrealistic considering the character development throughout the series. I was very confused at the behavior of some of the characters at the end. One in particular.
It was an enjoyable series.

While I wanted to enjoy this series this end book made it too hard. Everything was wrapped up in a tight little box but I didn't like the chocolates inside.
I miss Virginia and don't think I will read any more from this ghost writer.

This is the 3rd and last book...Delias Gift. Finally Delia toughens up a little bit. Although it was a frustrating read at times...just like the previous 2. Hard to believe life didnt toughen this girl up sooner.
Het tweede deel van de Delia serie van Virginia Andrews. Deze vond ik zelfs nóg mooier dan deel één en ik kan niet wachten op het laatste derde deel van de serie, Delia’s Gave. Ik waande me helemaal in Mexico,… heerlijk!

what a whirlwind series the three of them......keep me on my toes and also taught me the true value of family trust love and truth
It was about time everyone came around and figured out it was Mrs. Newell. And it was about time Delia's aunt and cousin came around and were nice to Delia.
A good conclusion to Delia's story. I guessed a lot of what would happen before it did but still a nice read.
Very good trilogy. Emotional ending but I loved every minute of the books!! I wish it didn't end..
First V.C. Andrews book that I have read. Pretty good read. Shows what can happen when someone is lying.
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED
I couldn't put it down! (It was so hard waiting for the next one!)

This is the final book in Andrew's Delia series. Overall, I enjoyed the story and seeing how the trilogy ends. As with the other two books, I thought this story, and its characters, was worth the read. I think readers will be pleased with the ending, and will enjoy finding out if Delia finds happiness afterall. Although not as enthralling as the origianl works, I would recommend this book to other readers.
V.C. Andrew books has always been one of my little guilty pleasures!
typical VC Andrews book. But I love it!
I think this shows how young ladies are strong.

Someone give this girl a break... :|
I don't know why I keep reading V.C Andrew books. I guess they are my guilty pleasure.
loved it
I really liked this book, although the first in the series was my favorite. I am a die hard V.C. Andrews fan, although this is probably one of the ones written after her death, it's still really good. I loved all of the spanish in it, because i am currently learning spanish, and this really helped me in my reading comprehension skills. I definitely recommend this series to someone, but be warned i thought that the whole idea of the plot gets a smidge stale after a little while.
it was a good ending.....BUT not the ending i really was looking for.
