This was a good book. I liked the storyline, but I have to admit, it dragged on a bit with Pearl looking in the bayou for her mother. The storyline was good, but at some point made little sense. Also, I found an error in the book. When Pearl meets Jack, he doesn't know what to call her, (Pearl, Ms. Andreas, etc). She says to call her Ruby. That's a misprint. It should've been to call her Pearl. I thought I missed something and reread it 5 times before I realized it was a printing error.

The first three books took us on a journey of Ruby Landry Dumas Tate Andreas's life. This is finally the first book that was not from Ruby's point of view, but the one of her daughter, Pearl.

Pearl was 18 years ago, has recently graduated from high school, and had twin brothers who were twelve years old. When one twin brother got bitten by a cottonmouth and died, Pearl's mother Ruby started to act odd and kept on saying that the tragedy was set off by the lies of Ruby's past. After th More...

DID NOT LIKE HOW PEARL WAS SO HUNG UP ON WEATHER OR NOT SHE SHOULD LOOSE HER VIRGINTY. CLEARLY IT IS NOT ALL THAT IT IS WHAT FRIENDS MAKE IT OUT TO BE. IT SEEMS THAT HER CLASS MATES EXCELL AT BEITNG WHORES, WHORES THAT HAVE MONEY AND SUPPOSED GOOD BREEDING. PEARL HAD IT IN HER ALL LONG TO BE A GOOD LOVER, SHE JUST NEEDED SOME ONE WHOM WAS GOING TO LOVE HER COMPLETELY.

Finally the series is finished. These were good books although this last one just started to get a little bit weird for me. There is a lot of "different" spirtualism in this book which is not something I really believe in although many others do I know. Overall the series was good and although I didnt really think I would enjoy them at first, I have always been a fan of VC Andrews and gave them a shot. I am glad that I did.

I love Andrew's writing. I thought since this book was about Ruby's daughter, I would like it as much. But I did love it and and I enjoyed the ride the book took me on. There were moment's when I was wondering what would happen next. I was pulling for Pearl throughout the book. A fun and easy read as always and ends with a happy ending. I like this book alot.

The beginning of this book was a let down, compared to the first 3. So I actually had to put it aside and read a few other ones before I picked it back up. But after I was finished the first few chapters it got so good.

I really enjoyed the Landry books

I have many more of the VCA books to start reading I have almost all of her book, just missing a few newer ones. The ones I have are her older ones and they took forever to find.

Wow. At first I didn't want to read this one since it was the daughter's perspective, but it was just as good as the rest!

Another case of a good series gone boring the longer it goes on. VC Andrews was very popular in her time, but the first books in each of the series was really great, the second books were treats that answered questions brought up by the first, but by the time the 4-5 books came along, it simply became too repetitive for my taste.

I enjoyed the series up to a halt on book 3. I only read this in order to complete the series. Pearl is one of the worst characters in a book. V.C. Andrews ruined Ruby, and should have kept her as narrator.

This was not as interesting as the first two in the series. Who calls their parents mommy and daddy when they are eighteen years of age. The book was pretty predictable.
