Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) The horror began with Flowers in the Attic, the terrifying tale of four innocent children locked away from the world by a cruel mother.
The shocking fury continued with Petals on the Wind and If There Be Thorns. Now V.C. Andrews has created the last dark chapter in the strange, chilling tale of passion and peril that has captivated millions of readers around the world.
Cathy and Chris, entwined with the evil that haunts their children, living with the fearful spectre of Foxworth Hall, are awaiting the final, shuddering climax... prisoners of a past they cannot escape.
My Review:

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
This takes place a good 15 years after the events of If There Be Thorns. Chris and Cathy arrive at the newly reconstructed Foxworth Hall. Bart says there is a surprise waiting for them. They are there to start overseeing some of the plans for Bart's twenty fifth birthday party, where he will come into his money and he'll have all the money left to him by his grandmother. Soon Cindy will join them, as well as Jory and his wife Melodie. They will be a family again. Cindy, Chris and Cathy will go to Hawaii after Bart's birthday party and that will be the end of it. Or so they think.
Setting foot in that house was just another tragic story waiting to happen. Event after horrible event keeps them in that house for far longer than they desired initially. The question running through the whole book is "Will Bart be redeemed in the end?". He can't forgive or forget that Cathy and Chris are brother and sister. He can't look at Chris as anything more than his mother's brother. He loves Cathy intensely but also hates her. And throughout it all, there's yet another bitter old man leading him along.
This book was excellent and closed up a lot of loose ends. I can't wait to read the fifth book in the series (which is truly a prequel but I was told to read it last so that I got the full effect of the situation without spoilers), Garden of Shadows, as it should help shed some light on some of the mysteries around the Foxworth family.
