Publisher's summary

Elle Edwards, who has been told she's a product of her mother's sinful mistake, has never gone to school, never met a teenager her own age, never even been allowed off her grandparents' property. Convinced that their granddaughter is infected with evil, Myra and Prescott Edwards believe that only the harshest child-rearing methods will prevent Elle from becoming an instrument of the devil. When Elle's mother finally returns home and tells a different story of her daughter's conception, Elle worries her grandparents are right. But with the help of a handsome boy vacationing nearby, Elle is finally about to discover the truth about her past....

Narrator was great & easy to listen to

Story was anti climactic and could have gone deeper into each character. As far as the twins, the dynamic & details of their relationship was left with a lot of questions.

Hated it

I know I didn’t just waste my credits on this garbage. I miss the old VC Andrews novels that were actually worth reading.

not as good as I hoped

This story was not well thought out. Too many plot holes and unanswered questions. Underwhelming.
