4.5 starsYep, still loving this series, Eye of the Storm is the third book in the Hudson saga.This series finally reveals some wacky, loony, cuckoo behaviour from a nutty character who also features in the first two books. Darkish, freakish and completely screwy. Loved it!Can’t wait to read more of the addictive characters in book four.*Book #46/72 of my 2019 coffee table to-read challenge, cont. 2020

This review will contain spoilers, so proceed with caution. What the heck happened?!? Now, I've never been blown away by a VC Andrews book, but go in expected juicy and ridiculous drama that fans all seem to expect. This had your treasure trove of Andrews cliches...like every single card was thrown. This is where the spoilers are...We have psychotic family member that lives in a fantasy land, tragic accident leading to paralysis, accidental death of a family member, tragic death of the only nice...

This is the third instalment of the series based around Rain and this one takes a bit of a dip. Although it is not terrible, it does drag when you are reading it.In this book, Rain has a horse riding accident and becomes disabled. She struggles to deal with it and eventually is held hostage by her aunt Victoria, who has become psychotic overnight. Rain does frustrate me quite a bit, she is so needy!Rain falls in love with her physiotherapist and they get married and have a baby. At the moment, i...

I couldn't remember anything about this book. I had completely forgotten about the whole paralyzed storyline. This started off well enough, following the traditional Andrew's formula, for example, Rain's real brother really wants to sleep with her. In fairness, he doesn't know she is his sister but why does every bloke Rain meets, wants to jump her bones within 5 mins of meeting her? It started to get a bit boring after she was paralyzed and became trapped in the house by Aunt Victoria. I also s...

I finished this book within days. The book begins with Rain now living in her Grandmother Hudson's mansion after her grandmother's death. Her Aunt Victoria mostly, along with her mother and stepfather are contesting the will, that left Rain with 51% of the house, 50% of the business, and about 2 million dollars in assets. Unfortuntely, Rain never makes it back to school in London. She spends a lot of time arguing w/ her parents and aunt. Her half-brother Brody, he has a crush on Rain, not realiz...

Summary: After the reading of the will and the knowledge has been passed around about Rain, Victoria and Grant team up to try and get Rain to give up most of what she's inherited.Megan, her Mother, had not told Alison or Brody about who she really was and Brody still has an incredible crush on her.Corbette pays a surprise visit to Rain, he says he still wants to get to know her and tells her how sorry he was for his immature behavior. However, Rain discovers that he only is there because he thin...

I enjoyed the earlier books that Andrew Neiderman wrote after V.C. Andrews' death, namely the Cutler series. But after that, each series he wrote became progressively less like the masterpieces VCA herself would write. The Landry and Logan series were enjoyable, and the Orphans and Wildflowers miniseries were all right. But I was glad when Neiderman announced his return to a full-length series. I read Rain and Lightning Strikes, but both books were disappointing, and this book no less so. VCA di...

When I read these novels back in the day I would have given them 3-3.5 STARS and now would say about one StarI started reading VC Andrews books in the 1991 and stopped about 2003. I have read:-Dollanganger Series-Casteel Series-Cutler Series-Landry Series-Logan Series-Orphans Series-Wildflowers Series-Hudson Series-Shooting Stars Series-DeBeers Series-Broken Wings SeriesAs a preteen reading these novels was a rebellion and the gothic theme also seemed cool. I stopped reading this author because

I remember sneaking these books from my moms book collection when I was 11 or 12. The storyline to all the ones that I have read were pretty terrible but I couldn't stop my 12 year old self from reading them! I can't say I do not like these books because I use to love them! I think I may read one at 26 and see how I feel about them.

Most VC Andrews novels are predictable....Poor girl somehow finds her way in a rich family, family secrets & forbidden sex. These seem to be the repetative elements in her books. This doesn't deter me from reading them though. I enjoyed Rain's story even if at times I knew that the following pages would hold.

This was the third book in a very enjoyable series. This was one of the better series put out in V. C. Andrews name in recent years.

3rd book in the Novel series - Great story, great suspense..I've never read a book in this short of time. I couldn't put it down. I Can't want to start the 4th book.

#CompNtBkOwn on Nook.FS: "Sometimes I think that Mama Arnold named me Rain because she knew so many tears would fall from my eyes."LS: "She could have been our baby, he said."

Review by M.F. : "This is my favorite book of the series & I loved the passionate love story."

3/5This book drove me insane. So I remembered about the therapist-patient love interest and he was great, but also, I was expecting a little less Hallmark with their relationship and wanted scandalous, which I guess it was but not in a way I wanted it. I honestly didn't remember anything about this book but him, but have to say I'm a bit disappointed as this was honestly a copy of Annie (Heaven's daughter). The biggest mistake within the book, that ruined everything: VICTORIA IS THE YOUNGER SIST...

This book was INSANE! Nearing the end when Victoria went crazy, I couldn't put the book down. I kind of wish that she didn't die, because I want to see what would have happened to her afterwards. Would she go to prison? Or be put in a mental institution? I am so glad that Rain and Austin got married and had a child. They are a really cute couple.

The inconsistencies in this novel are actually frustrating. The plot is weak and the family secrets were unrealistic. The book didn’t have any real depth or have clarification. I don’t like how Rain has no backbone. This book was a disappointment. It was almost depressing with the amount of tragedy in this novel. I found Austin’s bond with Rain was unrealistically fast.

Tragedy strikes early in this book for Tain. Her future goes from promising to crumbling apart completely. Honestly, VC Andrews protagonists are generally very tragic figures, but Rain takes the biscuit here.

I love the whole series. Although, I could see the areas of where it did seem a little watered down but I loved it. I did feel like Rain was being ungrateful and if she had just took the payout and moved on with her life she wouldn’t of had the accident. I loved the relationship between her and the therapist. I loved how he fought for her and looked out for her. All does come to a happy ending but sometimes she can be a debbie downer always worried about the worst. Rather than just choosing to b...

Another fantastic book by V C Andrews. The thrilling storyline and the addictive characters keep you from going to sleep at night haha! :-)

It a good, but have a lot of drama

It was a good book, but full of drama

I didn’t find the series as exciting as I found the older books. Available from national Library service.

I read this series many years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

This was my second time reading this book. Looking forward to rereading the next two books in this series.

I enjoyed this novel. It had a nice love story which balanced all of the terribleness typical in a VC Andrew's novel.

I don't know why I expected these to be any good. The series gets so progressively racist and ableist with both physical and mental disabilities that I wonder if it's even worth putting the effort into the next one, which is blessedly the last one. I'm going to read the Flowers in the Attic series at some point, which I'm hoping will satisfy my craving for scandalous trash without making me roll my eyes every five seconds and and wince at some other "tragic mulatto" trope the ghost writer decide...

This novel was incredibly tragic. . .so much that it was almost depressing. I found Austins appearance rapid, like they couldnt wait to introduce him so they had to be quick and mess Rain up, and his bond with Rain was unusually fast. Unrealistic.Though, I have to admit I was shocked when Rain was injured. This hasnt happened since the Heaven series. And for some reason, I couldnt take to Rain being in a wheelchair, it just didnt fit her. But I like the message it was trying to tell women: there...

In the third book of the Hudson series, Rain has to deal with inheriting nearly everything from her grandmother. Her mother, stepfather, and aunt are less than thrilled, threatening to take legal actions against her until one tragedy after another leaves Rain so helpless that she finally gives into her bossy aunt's demands . . . and what a price she will pay.This is a re-read--nearly all the V.C. Andrews books I'll be reading are--and I remember not liking this much the first time I read it. I d...

I really enjoyed this book. It was filled with time-stopping revelations and strange secrets from Rain's past, present, and future. When Rain falls off a horse, her life has changed forever. When she meets therapist Austin Clarke, she knows that she has found the love of her life. But there is just one thing: Rain gets pregnant. How can one give birth to a child if the one is handicapped? This book has been my favourite one out the whole series: I really liked how Andrews incorporated aunt Vic...
