5 Stars is kinda embarrassing, but I've been reading VC Andrews since I was too young to be, and this is one of my favorites. I promise I read real books too.

I think Shadoe said it best when we said "I feel like at this point only a therapist could really help us unravel all the trauma we experienced while reading this book." But it gave us a lot of laughs, stomach hurting, cry laughs at the badness. Couldn't have got through it without you Shadoe! Another notch on the book belt for us.

When I read these novels back in the day I would have given them 3-3.5 STARS and now would say about one Star


I started reading VC Andrews books in the 1991 and stopped about 2003.

I have read:
-Dollanganger Series
-Casteel Series
-Cutler Series
-Landry Series
-Logan Series
-Orphans Series
-Wildflowers Series
-Hudson Series
-Shooting Stars Series
-DeBeers Series
-Broken Wings Series

As a preteen reading these novels was a rebellion and the gothic theme also seemed cool. I stopped reading this author because the novelty wore off, the novels are too formulaic that I could not tell one book from another and gothic aspect was lost.

Pretty typical V.C Andrews. It's a guilty pleasure, although the plots don't seem to differ that much from book to book.

This is an entertaining series, but you can tell that her ghost writer wrote it.
