Gates of Paradise is a sequal to Heaven, Dark Angel and Fallen Hearts, so if you've enjoyed these 3 books you'll love this. The story is told by Heaven's 18 year old daughter 'Annie'. She is taken to Farthinggale Mannor by her mysterious great-grandfather Tony Tatterton. Annie pines for her lost family, especially Luke- her half-brother and secret love, but when she discoveres the cottage owened by Tony's brother Troy the mystery of Farthinggale deepens... I couldn't put Gates of Paradise down. The plot is so well thought out and there are many unexpected twists. I would recomend this book to girls aged 14 and over. It is a fantastic story!
The Casteel family tragedies continue. Annie seems like a more sympathetic character than Heaven, to me. She is an innocent girl in a tragic situation. Somehow she escapes the recent V.C. Andrews "formula," to feel like a real person.
After a car crash left her orphaned and crippled, Annie pines for her long-lost half-broth, Luke. The Casteel family tragies continue.
