My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
This is more like a prequel than the fifth book in the series. This takes up the story from the grandmother's point of view, starting with how she met Malcolm Neal Foxworth and ending with the day Corinne returns to Foxworth Hall with her four children to hide them away in the attic. This book will tell you what caused Olivia to become the cruel grandmother that Cathy, Chris, Cory and Carrie find waiting for them in Flowers in the Attic.
Even more, a shocking secret will be revealed that hasn't even been hinted at in the other books. This secret will blow your mind. To fully enjoy the series during your first read through, be sure to read this book last. If you decide to read again, then you can read in any order you want, since you'll already know the secret of the Foxworths.
You can purchase Garden of Shadows through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
