About this book:
Melody had always believed her mother, Haille, and dear stepdaddy had died in tragic accidents - that's why she'd come to stay with her secretive Logan relatives on Cape Cod. But then a friend recognized Haille's pictures in a catalog and kindled Melody's hopes. Maybe her mother hadn't perished in a fire in California after all, but was in some desperate trouble that kept her out of reach...

Melody's dream of finding her mother seemed as flimsy as the scrap of paper that was her only clue. And despite the pampered life Melody was offered as a guest in a Beverly Hills mansion, nothing could soften the blow of the moment she stood face-to-face with her mother and saw her eyes turn dark and cold as stones. Melody knew there must be a reason why her mother pretended at first not recognize her - and why she'd even faked her own death. Though Melody's beloved Cary beckoned from Cape Cod, she felt in her heart that her mother needed her now more than ever. And beneath her mother's unkept promises and tattered fantasies, Melody hoped to unearth the truth about her own past, and find her way to a safer, better place...where she could embrace a bright new future of her own.

My thoughts:
I didn't like the beginning of this book because it starts off rather slow. I was quite bored with it and it doesn't help that I have read it before. However, I did stick with it because there were things that I didn't quite remember from way back when. You know, one thing that I can't stand about these first 3 books, is that Melody calls her mom and dad, mommy and daddy and she's 19. When I think of someone calling their parents Mommy and Daddy, I think of a little girl. I don't know. Anyways, I still enjoyed this book after getting through the boring parts. Here's the recap...

( Recap....Spoilers... )

The next book is Laura's book but I'm not sure I want to read that. At least not right away. I'm not sure yet. I remember the first 3 books in the series being my favorite but maybe I should read the other 2 since it has been so long.
