Summary: Web of Dreams
Review: I have read every novel written by VC Andrews, and I think that the Casteel series was the best series written by her. I fount that reading Web of Dreams first helped other readers understand the story better.It starts out Leigh Vanveeran has a happy life,then while a way on a magnificent vacation a startling event happens, and it is going to change her life forever. Leigh goes away to live with her mother and very young step father the famous billionaire Tony Tatterton the owner of Tatterton Toys.As she learns to accept the new life which has been thrown upon her Leighs mother starts to forget who she is and starts staying away all the time at charitie events all Leigh has is her younger step brother Troy to hang around on weekends and her upcoming school to keep her mind occupied. While on a return home from school Tony Tatterton starts taking advantage of things and something happens to Leigh that is going to make her mother face reality and ends up forcing her to run away. Leigh ends up meeting charming Luke Casteel and she runs off to the Willies to be with him. Leighs rich life takes a turn where shes lives without even running hot water or a bathroom to use, but the love for Luke Casteel overides all the hardship you have to face living in the Willies. Untill on a dark cold night she doesn't know if his love is strong enough to keep her hanging on.

Summary: The Fifth/Final Book in the Casteel Series
Review: I just fininshed this book about 2 days ago. It was truely an awesome book, it made the entire series some together. It was nice to find out that Luke Casteel wasnt always a mean insensitive jerk of a man. Although if Leigh hadnt of died Heaven would have probably would have had a better life. I do recommend reading this book. But its important to read the entire series first. I can definately see myself reading this series again in the near future.

Summary: Just beautiful...
Review: My favorite serie of V.c Andrews is Casteel series, i really love Heaven, so i had to know the story of her mother, Leigh.
I almost cried in the end of this book because Leigh was such a great girl, so strong, so corageous and so beautiful!she gave up of everything just to escape from her stupid mother and her terrible stepfather, just to stay with her daughter Heaven.
(she has raped by Toni(the stepfather)and get pregnant.) she sufered, she was an angel in earth, she was a child with dreams that her family destroied. Nobody cared about her feelings, except the sweet Luke Casteel. They really were a wonderful couple. Leigh loved him with a true and pure love. He loved her too and made her feel special. Their love would last forever...
I loved this book because, in reality, it happens to many girls what happened to Leigh. But Leigh show us that we must have faith and hope for the present and future and forget the past.
Splendid book!

Summary: Shocking!!
Review: This book as a great book! I totally helped to fill in the gaps about the Casteels! I felt so bad for Leigh though! She couldn't even confide in her own mother without being turned on! This book made a lot of sence and filled in the gaps. Very nicly written. I would recommend this book to all VC fans!!

Summary: A great beginning
Review: This book was a great prequel to the Heaven series, and is a must-read for fans of this series, but I do have one thing I noticed that really bugged me. Why is Tony suddenly a brunette? In "Dark Angel" when Heaven was looking through pictures of her mother, Tony was described as a handsome young BLOND man. Other than that, I thought Web of Dreams was wonderful.

Summary: I cried for Leigh such a sad story!
Review: This story is a very good eye-opener. Like DARKEST HOUR, it shows what happens when people fail to listen to each other. It was bad enough that the people whom Leigh knew as her parents divorced. Leigh was shocked to know that a man named Chester was her birth father instead of Cleave. It was slimy of Cleave to bail out on Leigh when she needed his help the most. It was beastly of Tony to assault Leigh. What was worse she became pregnant. To top it all off Leigh's mom Jillian refused to listen to her (L)! A CAT'S A BETTER MOTHER THAN JILLIAN! It was noble of Luke to take Leigh in, but Luke should have brought Leigh to the right authorities. That way Leigh would have survived giving birth to Heaven.

Summary: Web of Dreams
Review: V.C Andrews is the best.. I love all of her books. Every book/series is full of mind addicting drama, once you start you cannot put it down until its finished. All V.C Andrews books are in series so you cannot wait to finish to read the next book.

As in most of VC's series, this is the fifth book in the series, which is how it all started. This book will answer all your questions and displays how it started a whole chain of events which resulted in Heaven's life. Check it out, you know you are dying to know... :)

Summary: A sad, haunting end to the Casteel series
Review: Whilst I found the whole series of Heaven haunting nothing could prepare me for the story of Heavens mother Leigh. This beautiful sweet girl thrown into these shocking circumstances was almost too much to read and the more I read this book, the more I would love to change it. The insight into Tony (that bastard) Jillian (what a loser) and Troy in the earlier years when Farthingale Manor reigned supream was wonderful, however I was disappointed that no retribution (castration perhaps) was delt out to Tony. All in all this is one of V.C Andrews morbid best, and is a gret testimont to her REAL writing, unlike this new and highly disappointing ORPHAN series.
