Secrets of the Morning

I rate this book 4.5 out of five stars for a good read. After reading Dawn, I was naturally anxious to see what happened to her afterwards. This book packs quite a few punches, especially the ending where Dawn's paternity is revealed, and Grandmother Cutler's hatred of her now finally reveals the reason behind it. Once you read Darkest Hour - the last Cutler book, the whole series makes much more sense.

Dawn is very booksmart, yet when it comes to her life, she is very naive. She falls in love with a promising man, who is a fraud and embezzler. Everything seems good to her. Then all falls apart, and she ends up mothering a baby, solo style. The ending is a groundbreaking conclusion to her past. It's worth a read.

I lost myself in the Cutler family secrets as they unfolded much to the price of "Dawn" the victim in a pool of her families love and betrayal. I couldn't wait to discover every last detail of secrets that waited on the next page. I must say once I read "Dawn", I was soon lost in the pages of "Secrets of the Morning". As fulfilled as I was after reading both Cutler series I look forward to reading further of what happens after "Dawn's" leap into a new life of love and promise.

This was an excellant book. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that V.C. books are very similar. But hey don't mess with success right! I loved the whole Sutton affair very dramatic and romantic! This whole book was just masterfully written it had so many different elements to tie you in! The only thing that bothered me was this, did any of you guys notice that they spelled the school's name two different ways throughout the book, Bernhart and Bernhardt! A little weird but a little typo like that is worth overlooking for this masterful tale! Make sure you read Dawn first though!

along with V.C. Andrews other masterpieces,it was no surprise that this was just as good. it did get boring when Dawn was sent to the Meadows,though. but I loved the ending!!!!
