Such wonderful children. Such a beautiful mother. Such a lovely house. Such endless terror! It wasn’t that she didn’t love her children. She did. But there was a fortune at stake—a fortune that would assure their later happiness if she could keep the children a secret from her dying father. So she and her mother hid her darlings away in an unused attic. Just for a little while. But the brutal days swelled into agonizing years. Now Cathy, Chris, and the twins wait in their cramped and helpless world, stirred by adult dreams, adult desires, served a meager sustenance by an angry, superstitious grandmother who knows that the Devil works in dark and devious ways. Sometimes he sends children to do his work—children who—one by one—must be destroyed…. ‘Way upstairs there are four secrets hidden. Blond, beautiful, innocent struggling to stay alive….’

Not for me: Flowers in the Attic
Flowers in the Attic is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.

Really enjoyed: Flowers in the Attic
Flowers in the Attic has a strong core idea — the execution mostly works. The pacing stays moving and the chapters end on good beats. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.

Didn’t work for me: Flowers in the Attic
Flowers in the Attic is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. The middle drags and repeats the same tension a bit too long. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.

Didn’t work for me: Flowers in the Attic
Flowers in the Attic is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. The ending resolves fast compared to how much it builds up. Not perfect, but it did enough to keep me turning pages.
