Summary: she hit the right spot in my heart!
Review: Every book of VC Andrews are in some way dark, this one was one of the darkest book of hers, well of the Ghost Writer, it's him who wrote this one and he did a very good job. It's a fast reading, a page turner. If you like VC Andrews novels read this one.

Summary: Mixed emotions.
Review: I had mixed emotions about this book. I'll start with the bad. It held no surprises like past VC Andrews books had which was disappointing. This whole Cutler series kept repeating itself over and over again. One character always seemed too much like past charcters. I kind of figured this book would explain why Lillian hated Dawn so much. But it didn't. In fact I would've thought Lillian would pity her. If this book would have kept going on and wrote about how Lillian changed after first arriving at Cutler's Cove I might have rated this book different. I also had to wonder why Dawn's orginal name was Eugenia. Why would Lillian have a say in naming her grandchild after her beloved sister, Eugenia? Considering she knew it was her husbands child. She had to have known that Randolph was not the father before Dawn was born. Other than that the book was too bad. It was one of the sadder one's I've read. But you can get through this series without having to read it.

Summary: Results of Not Listening
Review: I have borrowed this book three times from the library and it is mine now. It is a very good story about what happens when people refuse to listen to others. Jed and Georgia should have listened to Lillian when she (L) had a problem with Emily. Emily had no business blaming Lillian for the unfortunate incidents at the Meadows. It was NOT Lillian's fault that Niles and Eugenia died at all. It was awful that Lillian felt she had no one to turn to when Jed assaulted her. I didn't believe Lillian had to turn mean on account of Emily. She should have turned to Miss Walker, the teacher, for help!!

Summary: The best Cutler novel.
Review: I honestly liked the entire series but "Darkest hour" is the best Cutler novel. While other readers said that it holds no surprises, I have to disagree. We get to know an entire different Lillian Cutler. Where is the cold old lady that tried to ruin Dawn's life in so many ways? This book tells the story of an innocent girl that truly finds no happiness, no matter how hard she tries. Whenever there's a glimmer of hope, something happens to destroy it.Lillian's childhood doesn't justify how she treated Dawn. But it helps the reader to understand why she became the woman she was in the end. A touching and surprising novel.

Summary: Great read.
Review: I loved the Cutler series, and this was a triumphant way to end it. I came away understanding why the Cutler matriarch was the way she was which I believe is the goal of the final installment of all the vc andrews series. While it doesn't excuse or make you forgive her, it does explain several things. This is a great read and should be enjoyed by all that enjoy VC Andrews.

Summary: Best Book Ever
Review: I read this story because I liked the plot on the back. This is a story of a girl named Lillian and through her life many things happen. Her younger sister is very sickly and her older sister says that it is her fault. Her older sister, a very strong Bible, reader believes that anything bad that happens on The Meadows is Lillians fault also. Her mother for a reason I will not say, (because it would ruine the suspense), becomes a "lunatic". Her father does many things to harm her in many ways, but in the end, she lives through it! If you have just read this and you have read the book, or are looking forward to reading it... and tell me what you think!!!

Summary: Revolting
Review: The rape scene between Lillian and her father/uncle is one of the most horrible things I have ever read. Any book that eroticizes rape should be put down immediately, but this entire book is just way painful with no good parts. The only reason to read this book is to escape reality, but why would anyone want to escape into such a horrible world? Definitely NOT recommended.

Summary: What's up with Lillian
Review: This book was great, I felt so much sorrow for Lillian! But then I just found out... that is Grandmother Culter? The cold hearted woman you read about in the Dawn books? I can believe that what had happened to her would change her happiness forever but I would have thought she'd be a little bit more understanding to Dawn!

Summary: Good vs. Evil
Review: This is another great VC Andrews book where basically good vs. evil. However, in this book, it didn't seem that good won out. We did however get a good look into the life of grandmother Culter who we met in the first two Cutler novels and get some back ground on her life. Why she became who she was...
It was a very good read, giving us readers a chance to actually get to like grandmother Cutler- who we all hated previously. There are moments in this novel that are so horrifying, you will be shocked. The whole time I was reading, I just wanted to get to the end and reach the conclusion I was waiting for.
Overall I enjoyed the Cutler series. I'd recommend it to teenagers and adults alike, if you like a good juicy, fun read.
