I received this book to review by netgalley. This is the second book of the Eden series. I also read/reviewed the first in November. I didn't have super high hopes for this one after the first but I wanted to be wrong. I sadly was correct. This book felt all over the place even though there were no time jumps. This book also felt very unrealistic for this day and age (in which it was written). It was very hard to believed that a story could unfold like this in 2022 or 2023. It was a quick and entertaining read however.

Little Paula is the story about an adoptive brother and sister force my ma’am to become pregnant but shortly after little Paula is born the baby is sold to a rich local family.

This not only was my first book by V.C. Andrews, but the beginning of the book was a true page turn. Without reading the 1sr book in the series I was able to follow the story line and get pulled in right off the bat.

I found this book completely disturbing and not in a good way. I feel like I need therapy for just reading this book, but each of those characters do. Their lives are messed up.

I would recommend this book to someone who is interested in the psychological concept/development of children. I don’t personally recommend this book, but I’m curious on the other books written by the author. 🪦

Thank you NetGalley for the arc! Wish I could provide a more positive review, but it’s a honest one.

*Thank you to Gallery books, V.C. Andrew's and Netgalley for providing me with an E-ARC of "Little Paula" in exchange for an honest review.*

This really wasn't for me unfortunately. I had a hard time connecting with the characters.

Trevor's Plan

Faith Eden's baby, Paula, has been stolen and sold to a wealthy family. Trevor, Faith's brother swears he will get Paula back. Faith is very sad and wants her baby back with her. Yet she has conflicting feelings about being sixteen and being a mother but wondering what it would be like to be a normal teenager with school. She wonders about her attraction to the nephew of the neighbor Lance.

Faith and Trevor have a secret...a secret plan they are sure their dead mother would approve of. They plan together to get Paula back. She is their family and family must stay together.

Will they get Paula back or is she lost forever. What part will their father play in it all and will he help them or betray them?

This second book of the series is a bit better than book one. It is not as good as the first few series I read, but it was a good story. If you like V.C. Andrews books you will like this one.

Thanks to V.C. Andrews for the story, Gallery Books for publishing it, and to NetGalley for providing me with a copy to read and review.

First time reading VC Andrews but won’t be my last! Really enjoyed the writing and loved the characters. This had great tension and a nice creepy vibe.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book

I’ve loved VC Andrews books since reading flowers in the attic and I’ve read them all! This book did not disappoint. Kept me guessing and up way too late turning pages. Thank you for for being consistent! I loved it!

This book didn't really make a lot of sense to me. It was all over the place and confusing. I couldn't finish it.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review
