I love this book.Read the first part(Lightening Strikes)when I was sixteen,now I'm 22 and I'm still daydreaming while reading it.Some incidents were unexpected but I understand that the writer was being realistic about karma and all as I intuitively thought that's how it would have happened in real life.I think rain suffered cause she wasn't supposed to try and change her Destiny.She was meant to be in America because all success and victories has been mapped out for her but she just made herself a victim by trying to play with fate.Great book, attention catching.

Another great VA book

Following a horrible accident, Rain's life is once again turned upside down. Her dreams of returning to London no longer seem possible. To make matters worse her aunt Victoria seems more overbearing than ever.

The situations she has to face now make her old life seem easy.

Wow, this book got a lot more disturbing than I was expecting. It's like every possible horrible incident that could happen, did happen. I didn't really like the ending though as it seemed to be too easily wrapped up.

I have a few guesses as to how the next (and last) book of the series may play out.

3/5

This book drove me insane. So I remembered about the therapist-patient love interest and he was great, but also, I was expecting a little less Hallmark with their relationship and wanted scandalous, which I guess it was but not in a way I wanted it. I honestly didn't remember anything about this book but him, but have to say I'm a bit disappointed as this was honestly a copy of Annie (Heaven's daughter).

The biggest mistake within the book, that ruined everything: VICTORIA IS THE YOUNGER SISTER, MEGAN IS THE OLDER. How tf did he not remember that?? Like what type of fucking author are you that you cannot even remember that, and honestly I think he changed it so he can make this dumb plot happen. Victoria literally ruined this book because it is so off-character.

This book could have been better and was considering it a 4-star but then insane Victoria happened and I could not.

Un nouveau tome qui retombe dans les travers scénaristiques habituels de l'auteur, même si l'histoire de Rain est assez dramatique ... J'avoue que je ne m'attendais pas du tout à la série de catastrophes qui s'abat sur sa famille. J'ai apprécié la réaction de Rain face à Brody (en dépit des conséquences) et j'ai aimé la réaction de Megan face à cette perte. L'accident de Rain m'a surprise et j'ai été attristée par ce rebondissement, même si la relation entre Rain et Austin m'a séduite. Cependant, cet accident est aussi l'occasion pour l'auteur de retomber dans ses travers en mettant Rain à la merci de sa tante Victoria (qui bien entendu est folle). Cependant, l'aventure n'est pas très longue même si le refus du sexe et la frustration sont une fois de plus au centre des griefs de Victoria.

La fin m'a beaucoup plu et j'ai apprécié la manière dont Megan évolue, surtout dans sa relation avec Rain. La fin est jolie et j'espère que dans le tome 4 (qui sera sûrement consacré à Summer, celle ci ne sera pas face à sa tante Alison devenue folle...)


Ce que j'aime : le fait que Rain ait plusieurs amours avant de trouver le bon, sa relation avec Austin, le fait qu'elle vive un vrai drame


Ce que j'aime moins : la plongée brutale de Victoria dans la folie, un classique


En bref : Un bon tome qui est assez cruel avec ses personnages en dépit de certains rebondissements sans surprises


Ma note


7,5/10

I'm enjoying this series so far! I haven't checked to see if there is another book in this series or not. But if there is, I will definitely read it. I found the first two books in this series to be not very thrilling, at least nowhere near as thrilling and suspenseful as the "flowers in the attic" books. I am, however, liking these ones, and this book in particular is probably my favorite one in this series. :) :)

I didn't mind this book but it gets a bit much. Everything that could go wrong, sure does go wrong for Rain!

More suited to young teens.

Most VC Andrews novels are predictable....Poor girl somehow finds her way in a rich family, family secrets & forbidden sex. These seem to be the repetative elements in her books. This doesn't deter me from reading them though. I enjoyed Rain's story even if at times I knew that the following pages would hold.

great book!!!

I love the whole series. Although, I could see the areas of where it did seem a little watered down but I loved it. I did feel like Rain was being ungrateful and if she had just took the payout and moved on with her life she wouldn’t of had the accident. I loved the relationship between her and the therapist. I loved how he fought for her and looked out for her. All does come to a happy ending but sometimes she can be a debbie downer always worried about the worst. Rather than just choosing to be happy.

Loved this book. Looking forward to the next one in the series. I did notice a few mistakes that should have been picked up though like on one page saying Veronica not Victoria. also confused as to why through the first two books Rain calls her sister Beni but in this one calls her Beneatha. .. I know it's her name but still... continuity and all that lol

This is the third instalment of the series based around Rain and this one takes a bit of a dip. Although it is not terrible, it does drag when you are reading it.

In this book, Rain has a horse riding accident and becomes disabled. She struggles to deal with it and eventually is held hostage by her aunt Victoria, who has become psychotic overnight.

Rain does frustrate me quite a bit, she is so needy!

Rain falls in love with her physiotherapist and they get married and have a baby. At the moment, it looks like Rain is getting her happy ending but I am sure that will change in the next book.
