Continuing the events from Beneath the Attic and Out of the Attic, the prequel trilogy to the Dollanganger series comes to a riveting end with The Shadows of Foxworth, a passionate novel about Corrine Foxworth's intense desire to flee her overbearing life trapped in the Foxworth estate. Two generations before Corinne Foxworth locked her children in an attic, the life of her grandmother, a gorgeous young girl named Corrine Dixon changed forever. At age sixteen, she discovered she was pregnant by the wealthy and handsome Garland Foxworth. Now, trapped in the labyrinthine Foxworth estate, young Corrine is overwhelmed with her stifled life and domineering husband. When an artist is hired to paint her portrait, she immediately falls in love and is convinced to abandon this dark world forever, unaware that her decision could have far-reaching consequences that linger for generations...
This V.C. Andrews series was a crazy mind blowing read when I was younger. Her books definitely do not always have happy endings and they cross lines. However, Foxworth will keep you coming back. This one did not disappoint. It is the last one she has written in the series and I hope she writes more. However, if she ends the series with this book I will be ok. It leaves you with closure.
