Black Cat by V.C. Andrews

1.0

This book is second in the Gemini series, picking-up with Celeste - who has been forced to take on the life of her dead brother, Noble and deny her own child, "Baby Celeste". Her mother marries the father of Baby Celeste's father and kills him and then makes his own daughter, Betsey's life miserable. Mrs. Atwell believes Baby Celeste has inherited the powers to talk to the dead and sees her as some kind of new key. In the end, Celeste reveals herself and kills Betsey (by accident) and her mother dies, leaving Celeste to raise her own child and Betsey's son, Panther, among all the spirits.

The old VC Andrews books used to be really entertaining and shocking. Now that she is dead and they ghost-write them, they are too over-the-top and ridiculous. The writing is too simplistic and the plots are just shallow, I knew when I picked-up the book that it would be fluff, but "Flowers in the Attic" was actually interesting and didn't read like a 13 year old wrote it!
