Title: Disturbing and NOT as good as good as V.C. Andrews.
Review: I just finished this book today. It was quick read, but I don't agree with it being compared to V.C. Andrews. Flowers in the Attic had heart while this book falls flat. The author tries too hard to copy the style of Andrews and fails. Innocent Dark is very disturbing. I would compare it more with John Saul's novels. It's hard to identify with the characters and even though there were a couple shocks along the way, you could see the ending from a mile away. I purchased the sequel at the same time I bought the first so I'm going to read it out of curiosity. Don't get me wrong, it's an ok read and if you like gothic horror with a little gore thrown in you'll probably enjoy it.
