Episode 22 - Garden of Shadows
The prequel to the Dollanganger family series by V.C. Andrews. We're back with another gothic-y, incest-laden tale. This WAS the final installment but it looks like there are three more newish books telling the story from Chris' point of view. Should we look into them? Take the poll on Spotify!
