It took me a bit to get more into this one, especially with what happens to Grandmother Hudson. I only remembered the main thing that happens to Rain and who ends up with, so it was almost like reading it for the first time.

The strength Rain had in the first two books is greatly diminished in this one. At this point the girl has lost so much that she lets others push her around. Victoria is an absolute tyrant in this one and really becomes scary near the end.

I liked the love interest, though I felt like he wasn’t quite careful enough and that things progressed much quicker than expected. And while this is set during a different time period, some of the things he stated made me roll my eyes a bit. He’s still pretty decent for a VCA love interest.

Things really picked up around the 75% mark, making it difficult to put this book down. I liked the realistic depictions of just how much more effort Rain has to make to situate herself in her new reality. It was nice that she kept in touch with her dad throughout the book. I’m glad that despite an outdated slur being thrown around (probably not as outdated at the time this was published), that there were people insisting on how Rain’s condition wasn’t a life sentence.

My only real qualm is with the situation with Brody. It’s pretty serious and she’s still worrying about stepping out of line over the secret? The remark about her name bringing despair in the beginning also made me roll my eyes a good bit.

Overall, I didn’t like this one as much as the others but it still ended up being pretty fun.

3.5 stars!

it did keep my interest. very freaky.

I was really impressed with the third in the Hudson series of this author. The story keeps moving and turning, it is met with such positivity and optimism despite all the negative things that keep coming at the poor character, Rain. The other characters continue to develop, though with so many died out in this book, goodness knows what will happen in the next one.. can't wait!

Read years ago.

I enjoyed this novel. It had a nice love story which balanced all of the terribleness typical in a VC Andrew's novel.

看完竟然還有續集
（下一集才劇終）是想氣死我
女主簡單來說就是個雖人。本人已經夠雖 又常被左右想法。亂做決定。劇情就越走越瞎。原本第一集人好好的雖然妹妹因為她而掛了。第二集是媽媽掛奶奶掛。第三集是同母異父的哥哥因為對她告白失敗就酒駕掛了。自己沒多久也從馬背上摔下來殘廢。每天虐待她的阿姨突然浴室滑倒掛了。劇終
真期待第四集
(?

Not nearly as good as the first two books of the series. There were a few moments where the drama was good but the ghost writer relied way too much on his usual themes. Horrible aunt, medical helper who doesn’t actually care about the patient, and a family member that goes crazy after a tragic death. Nothing new or exciting.

It was not the ending I wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she should have gotten married to roy, not Austin. :(

This is probably my favorite book in the series. I think that it really took me into another world and I really liked the story of Rain and how she coped with all that life threw at her. I always knew she would be a strong person and I am so glad the path she chose to take in the end. It actually was a very wise decision that many would not be able to take. I honestly believed the characters and the story and I am pretty excited to go back in life and read some of the classics I knew and loved when I was younger.

Finally the last ..... it was worth to read all 3 books.. i love them
