The first book to this, Flowers in the Attic gave me a good impression. Flowers in the Attic was about how a mother lost her husband in a horrible car crash. Her and her four children felt lost. Cory and Carrie were the two youngest twins and Christopher and Cathy were the oldest being teenagers. Seeking for help Corrine, their mother reaches out to their grandmother. They had lost touch for many many years all because of one reason. Corrine had married her half uncle and her parents refused to except her as their own after finding out. Corrine's parents are very rich and when she "turned her back" on her parents they no longer kept her in the will for the money that she would inherit. And let me just say that her parents are very religious. I mean VERY. They count lots of things as being a sin. So her father is on the brink of death and is supposed to be dying any day but she has to gain his trust back so her and her kids will get money. They wouldn't be able to afford anything without corrine's husband. Corrine has to hide her children/ keep them a secret in order to gain her father's trust back.

Their grandmother ends up keeping them locked up in the attic. They stay in the attic for THREE years. Their mother almost completely forgets them. She ends up lying about her father. He dies much sooner than she said and she's out having fun and buying things while are kids are in the attic. They aren't aloud to leave the attic, go by the windows, or go outside. They have to follow a series of rules or the grandmother will punish them. She is very mean and strict. She starves them to death, cuts Cathy's hair, and beats them with a whip. That's not the only things she does though. That doesn't even began to desribe what they went though. They go through so much and their mother was apart of it. She knew what was happening but yet she did nothing. She was just focused on her self. But anyways with Cathy and Christopher being teenagers in all they had hormones going and couldn't help but fall in love with each other. I know that sounds gross but the book is very good and it's really interesting. So I would definitely recommend this book.

That's not even all of it. That was just what they went though in the first book. This one was the third book. In the second book that was all about their life after they escaped the Attic. And you ask why they didn't try to escape sooner? They had their reasons. They kept believing in their mother, that one day something would happen, and they were kids they didn't have a plan or nowhere to go. But one event leads them to leaving the attic and finally escaping.

So in this current book they are 37 years old. And Cathy has three children. They keep getting haunted from the past. I was just explaining the first book to anyone who was curious and didn't read that one yet. Anyways they have to try and find a way to keep their secret of them being together away from the kids. But it ends up being really difficult. And guess who comes back? Their mother. There are lots of things in between that happen. It is described in such great detail. There are also movies that goes along with these books. There was one made in 1987 that you may have watched or there are newer ones like in 2017 it came out. But you should definitely read the books. They are worth your time.
