Broken Glass by V.C. Andrews: Book Review

Broken Glass by V.C. Andrews

I was never one to particularly read a lot of suspense novels until recently. A edgy break for the monotony in some genres, a book by V.C. Andrews is always a good bet. Known for her young adult, coming of age stories that balance on the precipice of evil, this new release that I was able to review was an excellent choice for my weekend reading!

Check out my thoughts on book two in this series about teenage twin sisters.

Sisters until the end…

Which may come sooner than they think.

Under their mother’s watchful eye, identical twins Haylee and Kaylee Fitzgerald have lived their entire lives in sync. Never alone, never apart, everything about them must be exactly the same: clothes, friends, punishments.

One night, in the darkness of a movie theater, Haylee reveals that she’s leaving to meet up with someone she knows from online. But suddenly feeling ill, and not wanting to disappoint this older man, she convinces Kaylee to go in her stead. He’ll never know, and this way he won’t think she stood him up.

Kaylee reluctantly agrees to go, but when the credits roll and she’s nowhere to be found, Haylee confesses everything to her mom. With the manhunt on, Haylee knows everything must be done to find her sister. Still, for the first time in her life, she’s free from her twin, which, really, isn’t so bad…is it?

Review of Broken Glass by V.C. Andrews

Sometimes you think you know someone and yet deep down they can be someone completely different. That is the basis upon which this book and series is drawn from.

While I had not read book one, it was easy to fall right in to this story and know exactly what was going on. The author has an awesome gift with tying the stories together so you do not feel lost. That only brings the story to a head and allows you to thoroughly enjoy it.

With one twin missing and the other dealing with the fallout at home, we get to read a dual point of view and really get to know the twisted personality that is housed in the twins. Stemming from issues with their mother, one sister does something unthinkable and now her twin is in the hands of a stranger, in a delicate balance for her own life.

Plot twists and anticipation heat this story up and the ending is yet another surprise, with a bit of a cliffhanger in anticipation for book 3. The author throws in a few breath-holding scenes that had me reading till the wee hours. Thrilling and a definite page turner.
