About this ebook

SHE GREW UP IN THE SHADOWS OF LIES.
NOW THE PAST WILL COME TO LIGHT.
As a child, she was Baby Celeste, the one thing that kept her mother in touch with reality. But now her mother is in an institution, damaged by years of lies and secrets, and sixteen-year-old Celeste Atwell is alone in the world. Adopted by a wealthy couple, Wade and Ami Emerson, Celeste has everything a girl could desire: designer clothes, luxury cars, even a handsome boyfriend. But her new life is shrouded in mystery:
Ami acts more like a girlfriend than Celeste's adoptive mother -- what mother would encourage her daughter to flirt outrageously and dress in racy outfits? Wade, meanwhile, stoically accepts his wife's wild spending sprees and over-the-top behavior. Celeste is about to discover the true price of having it all -- because the secrets hidden within the Emerson household are too dangerous to keep under wraps....

Ratings and reviews

This book started out good but has the worst ending. It barely touches on two previous books. It doesn't even sound like.a VC Andrews book. The writing is completely different. Huge let down from first two Gemini books.

Very very disapointing dose not fill you in on what happend to the Emersions or to Trevor or if she got pregnate as a result of the date rape

I liked it not as good as the other 2 in the series
